Salesforce introduced Agentblazer Status at its Trailblazer DX San Francisco event—a new way to learn AI tools like Agentforce and Data Cloud on Trailhead.
Salesforce offers the first attempt at the Agentforce Specialist Certification exam free of charge through 2025, encouraging learners to validate their skills and advance their careers in AI and automation.
What is Agentblazer Status?
You earn badges and points by completing bite-sized Trail mixes (modules) on Trailhead. Each level you unlock—Champion, Innovator, or Legend—showcases your growing expertise on your Trailblazer profile.
Start Small, Aim Big!
Level 1 (Champion)
New to AI? Start here. Learn foundational skills like building your first autonomous agent and understanding data rules.
It’s designed to introduce you to the essentials of Salesforce AI. You’ll start with the basics of data and AI ethics, learn how data, AI, and CRM integrate and get practical advice on crafting effective prompts and templates. The series also emphasizes securing AI data using the Einstein Trust Layer and explores the role of autonomous agents in business.
A key component is the Agentforce training, which walks you through creating and customizing agents for service and sales. Through hands-on projects, you’ll build a service agent and connect Data Cloud with Agentforce, giving you practical experience in applying these tools.
Level 2 (Innovator)
Ready to solve real problems? Design custom agents for Sales or Service teams using Salesforce’s Agent Builder.
It offers modules and projects to help you learn Prompt Builder and Agentforce. With Prompt Builder, you can create and test prompt templates for tasks like summarizing support cases and generating personalized sales emails.
Agentforce training focuses on building and customizing AI agents that autonomously handle tasks, improving customer service and sales operations.
Level 3 (Legend)
Go pro. Become an expert. Adjust Agentforce with advanced skills, prepare for certification, and lead AI projects.

Why did Salesforce introduce Agentblazer Status?
Salesforce updates its tools often. The Agentblazer program helps you keep up without feeling overwhelmed.
- As AI technology becomes more common, more individuals who understand or develop it are needed to scale the businesses quicker.
- Agentblazer Status can be a standard for assessing and acknowledging an individual’s ability to implement AI solutions effectively.
- While the training modules are excellent, your skills truly shine when you apply what you learn to real projects. Hands-on projects make a difference in solving real business challenges.
By introducing Agentblazer Status, Salesforce aims to prepare individuals for the increasing role of AI in various industries, ensuring we have the skills needed for future job opportunities.
Why Bother?
Leah McGowen-Hare, Salesforce’s Trailblazer Community lead, put it bluntly: AI isn’t replacing you—it’s your new teammate. She’s clarified that learning to work with AI, not against it, is non-negotiable.
That’s why Salesforce is covering exam fees for first-timers through 2025.
It’s a smart move: the more experts in the ecosystem, the smoother AI adoption becomes for businesses.
