I’ve been considering this also. I am a Salesforce manager but with all experience and no certs. 5 years. Lots of skills but nothing official. Despite the other comment I had seen a free voucher also but expired. Do you have a connection to a new one? Thank you! (Ignore my title on here. I’ve emailed them to change it. I have no idea why it says I’m a blogger)
