Salesforce will retire 24 certifications on February 1, 2027. These certification retirements are part of Salesforce's effort to update its certification catalog. They also help keep credentials valuable, relevant, and aligned with the latest technology.
You can register for the affected exams until July 24, 2026. You can take those exams until August 31, 2026. The certifications will remain valid until their official retirement date on February 1, 2027.
In addition to these retirements, Salesforce will rename 16 certifications on July 24, 2026.
Why Salesforce Is Retiring These Certifications
Salesforce regularly updates its certification program as the platform and job market change. These updates keep certifications aligned with current industry needs. They also help certifications reflect the Salesforce skills that employers value most. By retiring these exams, Salesforce can make its certifications more valuable and relevant. It can also align credentials with the products, features, and roles professionals use today. This helps Salesforce professionals grow skills that match the latest market demand.
A retired certification is still a valid certification. It shows your product knowledge and your commitment to building expertise. Retirement only means Salesforce no longer maintains or evaluates those skills in the current catalog. It does not invalidate your work, your achievement, or the knowledge you gained.
