The other exceptions are those who are only in one of Salesforce's more tertiary products. And the App Builder is more of a ‘How to enhance it declaratively.’ A lot of Developers say they want to go straight into more developer stuff so they might want to go to the App Builder, but most start with Admin. If I had to break out the difference between them, I would say the Admin Certification focuses more on the proper care and feeding of your Salesforce org as Administrator. They could start with the Platform App Builder Certification - which is very similar to the Admin Certification. A couple of exceptions where people might consider starting with a different certification are maybe Developers who have a very strong developer interest. It's the basis and everything else will build off of that. Think of the Admin Certification as the ‘high school diploma’ of Salesforce. It's expected that you have this basic administrative knowledge of Salesforce. Roy: And the reason for that is while the Salesforce Admin Certification isn’t necessarily a prerequisite for other certs, it kind of is.
