Salesforce is renaming more than 30 certifications as part of its new certification experience. Along with moving all certifications to Trailhead Academy, Salesforce is introducing a consistent naming structure across its entire certification catalog. This change is aimed at making certification titles clearer, more uniform, and easier to understand across roles and career paths. If you currently hold a certification, there’s nothing you need to do. Your credential remains valid, and your Trailblazer profile will automatically reflect the updated name. These changes do not require you to retake any exams.
Here is the list of Salesforce certifications and their new names.
