- Practical demonstrations were done on how to navigate Salesforce platforms like Trailhead, Developer Org, and the Trailblazer Community.
- Detailed guidance was provided on user management (licenses, usernames, profiles, permission sets).
- Certification maintenance (annual updates to keep credentials active) and scenarios for account dismissal (security and configuration breaches) were discussed.
- Participants should complete Trailhead modules on reports and dashboards before the next class project.
