Salesforce.com certification exams recognize experience as well as study. In fact, some exams are based as much on industry and real-world experience as on formal training. Review the Study Guide for the credential you are interested in to uncover your best route to certification. For some people, that will include taking the recommended online or classroom training courses; for others, self-study and experience are enough to be successful in the program.
