FAQs
I already have a Trailblazer Profile. Should I create a second one for certifications?
No. You should continue using your existing Trailblazer Profile. To allow your certifications to appear automatically, ensure it uses the same email as your WebAssessor account.
How do I confirm my Trailblazer profile email matches WebAssessor?
- Sign in to www.trailhead.com.
- Navigate to Settings > Connected Accounts.
Verify that the displayed email matches the address on your WebAssessor account. If necessary, update your email in Trailblazer to match WebAssessor, following the on-screen prompts.
Are Tableau certifications moving into the Salesforce program?
Yes. On July 21, 2025, Tableau credentials will integrate fully into the Salesforce certification portfolio. After that date, you can manage all exam details—registration, schedules, and results—in one unified location.
