What the fee covers
Knowing the boundary of the price stops the surprise costs later.
| Item | Included in the exam fee |
|---|---|
| The exam session | Yes, including the 105-minute session |
| Exam retake | Covered by the published terms |

The exam fee buys you one attempt at the Salesforce Certified Data Cloud Consultant. Everything else on your path to certification, revision material included, sits outside this price, and that is where most of the budget of a certification actually goes.
Note from the vendor record: Renamed/refreshed: the official exam guide carries an 'Important Update' stating the Data Cloud Consultant exam would be refreshed on March 27, 2026 to align with the Spring '26 release, directing candidates to the re-titled Data 360 Consultant Exam Guide (same help article, now 'Salesforce Certified Data 360 Consultant Exam Guide'); this is the Data Cloud to Data 360 rebrand, and it is not one of the 16 certifications renamed effective July 24, 2026 (official Salesforce Certification Name Changes FAQ). It is not among the 24 certifications retiring February 1, 2027 per Salesforce's official 2027 Certification Retirements FAQ (last day to register July 24, 2026; last day to test August 31, 2026). Prerequisite: None; retakes follow the official policy of 3 attempts per release cycle with 24-hour then 14-day waits, at 50% of the original price. Renewal: the certification maintenance module must be completed on Trailhead once a year or the credential expires; the old datacloudconsultant credential URL still resolves (HTTP 200).
