For many of us, the best way to understand and retain new information is to roll up our sleeves, get hands-on, and “learn by doing.” Since the beginning, Trailhead, Salesforce’s free online learning platform has provided free access to Salesforce business tools and technology so you can build your skills with hands-on learning.

Hands-on learning with Trailhead
On Trailhead, after each bite-sized section of learning about a certain topic (we call these units or steps), you’ll come across an interactive challenge where you can test your understanding. These challenges are either multiple-choice quizzes or hands-on challenges, where you complete a task based on a real-world Salesforce scenario.
Hands-on challenges give you access to a free test version of the america phone number list Salesforce Platform called a Trailhead Playground. In this playground, you can explore and create with Salesforce technology, identical to what Salesforce professionals use every day. Worried about messing up? Don’t be! Anything you do in a Trailhead Playground will only show up in that environment, and nobody can see it but you.
When you finish your challenge, you’ll receive fast feedback with the click of a button. If your answer is incorrect, you’ll receive a hint as to why. Between having the Trailblazer Community at your fingertips and the challenge verifications at the end of each lesson, you’re never really studying alone.

You’ll come across hands-on challenges in both modules and projects.
Modules are bite-sized units that guide you through specific topics. These units have interactive challenges, either multiple choice or hands-on.
Projects help you gain new skills with hands-on practice through the Trailhead Playground (your own developer environment), giving step-by-step instructions as you work.
