Hyang Won Jong In which order should I learn Salesforce courses to become Salesforce Admin, Salesforce Developer, Salesforce Consultant, etc?
Hello,
I have had a huge interest in Salesforce recently. I did check out courses on Trailhead, but it has many career paths and I don't know if any path should be completed before another path. Additionally, I want to create a solid knowledge foundation to jump to other Salesforce roles in the future, though I want to be Salesforce Admin at the moment.
It will be great if someone could share with me your roadmap to learn the Salesforce courses in the correct sequence.
Thank you

1. I believe that we should aim to be Salesforce Admin first before learning other courses to become Salesforce Developer and Salesforce Consultant as you mentioned.
2. Many good sources recommended that we follow the paths designed on Trailhead. So you can do that first, take the Admin path (https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/career-path/admin/) as the foundation, and go further with other paths.
OR
3. You can read this article "most useful certifications and coruses for salesforce career path" (https://www.documill.com/blog/the-most-useful-certifications-for-salesforce-admins-career-path) and find out the correct order for you with the most suitable path for your Salesforce learning. They separate the Salesforce learning journey into 3 major paths such as functional, technical, and general with highlighted characteristics of each path, and provide you with some interesting points on how to get Salesforce Certified Admin certification, what other Salesforce paths you can do after completing Salesforce Admin certification in the correct order as you like.
Hope it helps!

Trailhead Admin is the right one to begin.
I'd recommend reviewing the Admin trailmix that has all the courses in sequence : https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/users/strailhead/trailmixes/prepare-for-your-salesforce-administrator-credential
I also came across this https://github.com/ChuckJonas/Salesforce-Developer-Roadmap that can help you
