Hi,
I have been trying to purchase via PayPal for two days and I keep getting, “Things don’t appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later.”.
Thanks,
Cliff
Hey Cliff,
The connection to paypal is currently down – thanks for pointing this out. I will am working on a resolution but it will take a few days. You can pay via credit card if you’d like or use the contact page and I will invoice you directly through Paypal. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Hi,
Is there a coupon code currently available?
Thanks
I tried to purchase the course, had payment error as card declined with two different cards.
Just double checked and I’ve had many transactions coming through- can you try to check out using paypal (no login required)?
Hi John,
Is the study material sufficient to prepare for Admin201 examinations. A little apprehensive at the moment though I’ve read all the wonderful comments. Should one also have a working project experience before taking the certification or should just the study materials do?
Regards ,
Pavithra
When I try and buy the $40 package it says “You don’t have access to purchase this item.”
Can someone please advise, I’d like to get full access to the content. Thanks
Did you already purchase access some time in the past? That’s typically the only reason you’d see that message.
I have tried about three times to make a payment for the study guide, but have not been able to do so. It keeps taking forever to process. Please advice, thank you.
There are two payment gateways configured (paypal and credit card)- have you tried both? I’m seeing transactions coming through
Where I can find the coupon code for purchasing? TIA.
No coupon out at the moment but you can sign up via the newsletter if you want to get notified of one
John,
I am getting an error message when trying to purchase the study guide. The error says:
ERROR: There was a problem sending your credit card details to the processor. Please try again later. 1 Array ( [action] => checkout [txn] => gsi [mepr_process_payment_form] => Y [mepr_transaction_id] => 21762 [mepr-cc-type] => amex )
There was a problem with the paypal gateway; I’ve removed paypal for now. I just verified that the credit card option works correctly, please let me know if you see this error again. Thanks!
The error is still there,I just tried visa+mac+safari
Hey Monomit – just got a patch to fix the payment gateway issues. Paypal is enabled once again- I just tested a live transaction successfully.
When checking out, can you select Paypal- if you don’t have a paypal account, then click the “Pay with Debit or Credit Card” below. Paypal will manage the transaction, that will let us rule out any issues on this site itself. Thanks for your patience.
Hi,Is your payment system down?I am trying to purchase material for salesforce admin certification.
Thanks,Monomit
Are you using PayPal or credit card? I’m seeing transactions come through but will take a look.
Credit card,through a safari browser on Mac .
Thanks,Monomit
Just double checked with a live transaction – credit card gateway is working. Paypal has been disabled for the moment.
Credit card should work just fine- I did find an issue with Paypal and will be working to resolve it as quickly as possible.
Hello John,
I hope you are doing good.
I am trying to purchase the Admin study-guide from last 2 days through Paypal. But every-time i click on “Purchase”, it showed me this error:
There was a problem with our system: The connection to PayPal failed. Please come back soon and try again.
Now this Paypal option is disabled. please help me to get through it.
Thanks
Archita
Hi Archita – I hope to have the paypal option back up and running shortly. Unfortunately you will either need to use a credit card or wait for the paypal gateway to come back online.
Paypal is back up!
Hi John,
If I purchase the study guide full version today, how long it will take me to access the full version?
Thank you
The moment you purchase, no delay
Thank you for quick reply.
HI JOHN,
MY EXAM IS ON THE 31ST OF THIS MONTH.
I HAVE GONE THROUGH YOUR SITE TILL USER INTERFACE WHICH IS FREE, IF I PURCHASE THIS NOW WOULD IT HELP TO CLEAR MY EXAM WHICH IS 3 DAYS AWAY.
WOULD APPRECIATE A QUICK REPLY.
Hi there,
Yes I believe the site will certainly help- think back to any knowledge/insights gained from the free sections. You will need to work quickly to make it through the rest of the sections in 3 days, but I suspect it will help significantly in the end.
Good luck!

Hi John,
When I try to purchase the study guide, it’s asking me for the CVC CODE.
Can you please help .
The code is on the card, see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_security_code
Hi John,
I have studied lot of stuff online and did some practice exams also where I could score 30 out of 60. Will the data in your site will help me scoring the required marks to clear my certification.
Let me know how I can complete this course with in a month.
Thank you.
Yes it will help and is completable within a month
Hi John,
Do you offer any coupons at this time?
Thank you!
Not currently, sorry!
Hi John,
I just purcahsed the paid version, but I am where will I find the paid version. I was trying to navigate through the paid version, but didnt find that. Could you please let me know where do I find that link?
Thank you.

Thanks for purchasing!
Hi John
Any coupon codes at the moment?
Thanks
Afraid not :/
Hi John:
I am trying to purchase your study guide but I keep getting a username error that I already have an account under my email address. I did take the SF 5 day class and have usernames for previous practice environments but they have expired. I am logged in under my brother-in-law just to post this comment for help. My affiliated email address is pidgeon45@sbcglobal.net Can you help me so I can purchase your guide? Thank you.

Hi John,
Do you have any coupon codes running at the moment? And is this up to date for spring ’16?
No coupons running now. Yes updated, please see the FAQ for specifics.
Hi, is this up to date for Spring’16?
Nevermind.
Hi John
I tried to purchase, but comes up with this safety message. “This server could not prove that it is certifiedondemand.com; its security certificate expired 4 days ago. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.”
any idea why I’m seeing this?
Cheers
Ron
Hey Ron,
The certificate expired, sorry about that. It has been renewed, all set now!
Cheers,
John
Is the material for Salesforce Certified Administrator (SU15)exam. Thankyou.
Please see the FAQ: http://classic.certifiedondemand.com/faq/
DF15 seems expired – Could you extend this coupon code for some more time pl?
What is the Coupon Code?
DF15 – valid through the end of the week to celebrate Dreamforce!
how to pay in indian rupees(INR )?
It will convert when you check out
I entered my credit card information, pushed purchase, and it returned me back to this page without any notification telling me if it worked. I haven’t received an email and I don’t have access to the rest of the study guide. Did I do something wrong or does it take a while before it registers me?
It must not have gone through – the transaction should take place immediately. I will double check that everything is operational, you could try completing the payment through paypal as well (which also accepts credit cards).
So the guide is tailored more for online then? (Was thinking of adding in some old school hard copy study, but….)
Correct, it is only offered online
I became a CoD member a few years ago. I tried to purchase a copy of the Study Guide this morning. Result: “You don’t have access to purchase this item.” Am I out of luck?
That should mean that you already purchased and do not need to purchase again – if you have access to the quizzes in the paid sections then you are good to go!
I paid $40 for the material and received a confirmation email in May, but I am unable to access the purchased content today. Am I missing something on the site or elsewhere that is needed for consistent “full” study guide access?
You have two accounts – the paid account is registered to your gmail account 🙂
Hi John,
How much time do you think it takes to cover all content from this site to prepare for the exam? Assuming 1hrs study time everyday. Just need to get an idea, I understand everyone is different with different levels of experience.
Also, when will it updated with spring 15 release?
Regards
Maria
I don’t have a direct gauge – weeks to months depending on time, completeness of prep, experience, etc. Around 2-3 months should be a reasonable goal.
Hey John,
I intend taking my administator certification exam in 2 weeks . If I purchase the study guide from here, will that help me get through the exam. Please suggest how do I go about studying for this exam. Thanks
There are several free sections for you to get a feel for the site before you buy. Study each section, make sure that you understand each object, and then use the quiz in the end to validate. Experiment, and play in your dev org. There’s isn’t a magic formula – spend the time to learn how Salesforce works and generally speaking you will do well. Good luck!
Hey John,
I worked through the free parts of your site and it is all very good explained!
Now I would like to purchase for the rest of it.
I have an offer of my company that they would repay me the costs.
Therefore I need a bill.
Is this possible?
When you purchase you will get emailed a receipt.
I am having difficulty in processing payment. Any help?
When I select paypal then it takes me to paypal login screen but it won’t submit as if that button is not working…
Are you sure you have everything filled out? I have several paypal transactions going through as of today, so the gateway appears to be working…
John – can you confirm if my attempted payment has gone through? The site seemed to “gloss” over the payment once it was made with no confirmation of acceptance or change to what I can access on the site. I’m therefore reluctant to attempt another payment until I know the status of the first attempt. Thanks.
I think I posted to the other comment – the payment did not go through. I would try selecting paypal instead on check out, you use a credit card there as well.
I’m trying to purchase the winter release study guide and it says I don’t have access to purchase.
If you already purchased in the past, then you are upgraded automatically
Hi John, how secure is this page especially when inputting payment details?
Uses SSL direct to a payment gateway (Stripe); no credit card details are stored on this site. If you concerned, you can always use the paypal option (which will let you pay with a credit card) and processed entirely on paypal’s site.
Hi,
I am new to Sales force admin, would like to get my salesforce admin certification beginner level, does this course contain practice exams and other course material required to clear salesforce certification. How many practice tests does this study guide have
thanks
You can sample how this guide is setup by setting up for a free account. Each section has practice questions, and there is a final practice exam of 30 questions at the end. This is designed to be a study guide, the focus is more on what to learn and how to learn it than strictly practice Q’s. Hope that helps.
Hello, I just purchased through Pay Pal but when I am trying to access some of the info, it is asking me to purchase it. How long it will take for me to see the purchased information. I tried logging out and log back in.
Replied offline. Please do not double post.
Hey John,
I wanted to see if you had plans on updating the guide to reflect new materials from the Summer ’14 release since I plan on re-taking the exam in Aug. My understanding is that the exam doesn’t change much between releases because the core concepts to get Admin 201 certified are the same regardless of the new features released. I’m pretty confident that your guide’s going to help me based on the material covered here and my experience from taking the exam once already, but what are your thoughts regarding future revisions of your guide?
Hi John,
Very useful site for certification preparation. Thanks a lot!
Quick question, Can I pay for the guide with any other payment mode? do you sell this guide on amazon.com etc?
For certain reasons I can’t pay by credit card so need to know if there is any alternative.
Thanks!
Hi John. I’m preparing for DEV 401. Does this guide help me in DEV 401 preparation?
hi john, i have just paid $40 for the material and received a confirmation email.
however – i still get “you do not have access to purchase this item”???
am not sure what am meant to be seeing as well, any help will be apreciated
Hi Malcolm – your transaction was successful. You do not need to purchase any items, you now have access to the entire guide. Please let me know if you have any problems accessing materials.
Is this $40 guide good for 401 certification?
No. Its 201 Only
then what i need for 401, do u have any other study guide for 401?
Hi John,
Is it okay to purchase the study guide now, if it does not include the Spring 14 release? Will the changes be that drastic if I sit for the exam within the next month or so? I am eager to start preparing for the exam and would like to know whether I should wait for the updates from Spring 14 before purchasing this study guide.
You can absolutely purchase now! The guide will be updated shortly for Spring 14 – you can use the release training and this guide together and you’ll be all set today: http://www.salesforce.com/customer-resources/releases/spring14/release-training.jsp
Hi John,
When do you expect this to be updated to include Spring 14 release?
thanks,
amy
I don’t have an exact date – within the next month probably. I have already reviewed the update, just a matter of plugging into the site.
John,
I’m about to purchase the guide and continue down the path to certification. Loving everything I’ve seen so far. I know this guide covers some of the information but do you have any future plans to develop a comprehensive guide for the Advanced Admin Exam or any of the other certifications for that matter? Hoping the answer is yes!
At some point I may develop additional guides, but I have no immediate plans. It takes a tremendous amount of time that I don’t have currently!
John, A friend of mine form the office recommended this service. She was able to get some sort of discount because she didn’t pay the full $40. Is there any way to get some sort of discount?
There are no coupon codes running at this time and no plans to run in the future. However, if you sign up you will be notified via email if that changes. Thanks for the inquiry!
How do I obtain a coupon code and what will it offer me? I have found your site to be most helpful in preparing for the admin exam. thanks
There are no coupon codes running at this time and no plans to run in the future. However, if you sign up you will be notified via email if that changes. Thanks for the inquiry!
does this guide have the most current release information?
Yes this site is updated to reflect changes to Salesforce – the last full update was for the Winter 14 release.
Hi John
Does your study guide also cover questions in the Advanced Administrator exam?
Regards
Sue
The only guide published today only covers the administrator exam. This guide will help with the advanced admin guide, but will not cover all of the materials.
Hi John,
I am preparing for the Admin 201 certification and find the content on your website to be very succinct and extremely useful.
Before making the purchase would like to confirm if there any expiry associated with this?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers
Vaibhav
No it does not expire.
Hi John,
I just want to know whether the above study guide has all the content or it is having only particular content.
Please let me know asap.
Thanks,
Mounika
It covers all of the material for admin certification – you can check out the outline here http://classic.certifiedondemand.com/ – expand table of contents. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask, thanks!
