I highly recommend this as a next step following admin certification. I didn’t have an opportunity to sit in a formal class, but thanks to Merivis and some Salesforce Ohana guidance, I found the resources and developed a study plan.Īfter roughly two months of self-study, I was able to pass the PAB exam on my first attempt. Just six months later, I had the confidence to go after my next certification – Platform App Builder (PAB). After serving five years of USMC active duty as a Military Police Officer, I eventually transitioned out, completed higher education, found a career in digital marketing, and then upskilled to join the Salesforce ecosystem – thanks to Merivis! I struggled to obtain my Salesforce Administrator certification, but after I attended a Merivis onsite course in Seattle, I was finally able to pass thanks to the amazing coaching, mentorship, and instruction I received.

Merivis changed my life, and I hope my experience can inspire others to take plunge and do the same.

Joey now also volunteers with Merivis as a coach, serves on the Merivis Alumni Advisory Board and currently works at Amazon Web Services as the CRM Product Manager focused on the Salesforce Platform.
