Exam dumps are everywhere. Is Salesforce on top of this at all? I know people who amassed tons of cert in such a short time span that it just makes me wonder.

This is why certs cannot be the sole indicator of a jobseeker’s value, the same way years of experience alone cannot be the sole indicator.

I don’t think Salesforce needs to do anything beyond what they have outlined in their policies. In reality, imposters are found out quickly.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I view people who just study and get a bunch of certs without experience similar to people who use those dumps because the outcome is similar.

Curious what you think would/could do about it? They update their terms on their certifications page recently which I think was I recognition of that fact.

But honestly not sure what they can do.
