The Salesforce Administrator Track serves as a guide for customizing the platform and bridging the gap between business and technology. Additionally, MuleSoft training is offered to enable seamless interconnection of data, applications, and devices across on-premises and cloud computing environments.
The EEP entails a comprehensive 40-hour training program spread over five days, delivering an on-campus learning experience to expedite upskilling and cross-skilling. Faculty participants will receive a certificate of participation in accordance with the requirements from Academia (EEP from ICT Academy is supported by AICTE). Furthermore, additional certifications will be granted through NASSCOM Future Skill Prime, covering Salesforce Developer Catalyst, Salesforce Administrator, and MuleSoft.
