AppBuilder Transition Certification focus on declarative skills. It do not focus on Visualforce at all now. It do focus on Lightning Introduction, Salesforce1 understanding, Sandbox and Packages.
Platform Developer 1 focus on coding skills. It also focus on Introduction to Lightning.
There is no prerequisite for Platform Developer 1 certification now unlike DEV 501 for which we had to be certified developer was prerequisite.
Platform Developer 2 focus on advanced coding skills and also has assignment.It also focus on Integration skills(SOAP API, REST API, Analytics API) now which were not tested earlier in Advanced Developer certification.

Certification is not always mandatory for applying to Salesforce jobs, but it's highly beneficial. Many employers prefer or require candidates to have certifications as it demonstrates a verified level of expertise on the platform. For a beginner developer, the Salesforce Certified Platform Developer I is the foundational certification you should aim for, as the Dev401 (Force.com Developer) certification has been retired.
The Platform Developer I certification will provide you with the basic knowledge needed to build custom declarative and programmatic applications on the Salesforce Platform. Here are the steps you should consider:
- Learn the Basics: Start with Salesforce Trailhead to build your foundational knowledge of the platform.
- Hands-On Practice: Apply what you learn by working on real-world scenarios and projects.
- Study for Certification: Use study guides, practice exams, and join study groups to prepare for the Platform Developer I certification exam.
- Consider Job Listings: Look at job descriptions for roles you’re interested in to see if they list specific certifications as requirements or preferences.
- Stay Informed: The requirements for Salesforce jobs can vary widely, so it’s important to stay informed about what employers are looking for.
