The Salesforce Certified Marketing Cloud Engagement Developer (formerly the Marketing Cloud Developer) is the developer credential for Marketing Cloud Engagement. This course prepares you for the exam: building dynamic, personalised marketing assets (emails, landing pages, CloudPages and forms) with HTML, CSS, AMPscript and Server-Side JavaScript (SSJS); working with SQL, data extensions, shared data extensions and the Contact model; and using the Marketing Cloud APIs (REST and SOAP, with OAuth authentication). You earn it by passing one exam (60 scored questions plus up to 5 unscored, 105 minutes) delivered by Pearson VUE - at a test centre or online - with the voucher purchased through Trailhead Academy. The passing score is 63% (confirm the current figure) - one of the lower Salesforce passing scores, reflecting the exam's difficulty. You must hold the Salesforce Certified Marketing Cloud Email Specialist credential before taking this exam.
Marketing Cloud developers are in demand as businesses invest in marketing automation and personalised customer engagement. This is the technical, code-focused credential in the Marketing Cloud Engagement track - it proves you can build with AMPscript, SSJS, SQL and the Marketing Cloud APIs. As the hardest Marketing Cloud exam, it signals real developer ability, and it typically commands stronger pay than non-technical Marketing Cloud roles.
