如何维护Salesforce CRM认证？

社区•2017-12-19•媒体资讯•

IT行业的许多认证都不是永久有效的，因为技术和知识永远在不断更新，Salesforce的认证也不例外。考过ADM201和开发者认证的小伙伴们，在每次Salesforce更新的时候，都需要考维护考试，这样才能继续持有Salesforce的认证。
但是，我需要考哪些认证考试呢？维护费用如何？这篇文章给你所有答案。

1、Salesforce维护考试概览
Salesforce每年更新三次，分别是冬季，春季和夏季。而你需要考的维护考试根据这些更新而异。如果维护考试是每年三次，那么每个维护考试都会在下两个更新之内可考（8个月）。如果维护考试是一年一次，那么每个维护考试都会在一年内可考。
如果一个维护考试没有通过，那么所有依赖于这个维护考试的认证都会失效。

2、维护费用怎么算？
认证第一年的维护是免费的，之后每年每个维护考试的费用为100美刀，Marketing Cloud Email Specialist和Social Specialist的维护考试除外。
从Spring '17的维护考开始（2017年3月27日），维护考试每年的封顶费用为300美刀。如果你需要考多于3个维护考试，Salesforce认证中心会通过电邮给你发维护考优惠券。

3、都有哪些维护考试？
以下是所有维护考试的清单：

Salesforce Certified Administrator Release Exam
Salesforce Certified Pardot Specialist Release Exam
Salesforce Certified CPQ Specialist Release Exam

4、我需要考哪些维护考试？
Salesforce会在维护考试推出时发出提醒邮件。如果你不确定这些维护考对哪些认证有效的话。Salesforce自动认证查询工具（网址：http://certification.salesforce.com/credential-status-request）可以派上用场，在这里输入你的邮件地址或者webassessor用户名，Salesforce会把你所有当前认证以及所对应的认证考试和到期日发送给你。
