MuleSoft certification exam facts — verified against the official guides
Everything below comes from Salesforce's official exam guides, last verified 28 August 2026. Bookmark it, and distrust any study material that disagrees.
The red flag nobody tells you about
Salesforce publishes NO short exam codes. The current credentials are identified by full name only. Study material built around “MCD”, “MCPA”, “MCIA” or invented numbered codes is either stale (those are retired names) or a braindump — and braindumps violate the Salesforce Certification Code of Conduct you accept at every sitting.
The four current credentials
| Credential | Format | Prerequisite |
|---|---|---|
| Salesforce Certified MuleSoft Developer | 60 questions · 120 min · 70 % | None |
| Salesforce Certified MuleSoft Developer II | 60 questions · 120 min · 70 % | Developer recommended |
| Salesforce Certified MuleSoft Platform Architect | 60 scored + up to 5 unscored · 120 min · 70 % | None |
