This is a marketer-focused digital optimization solution that is a big step forward in Sitecore’s move to SaaS *(Software as a service modeling)*. This is new in the Sitecore space and some important keypoints of Sitecore CDP can be not so clear for you, because some of them don`t have public implemented examples. In this series of articles, I will share my experience with CPD and try to cover all main parts of this platform. #### How to start working with it, if you don`t have experience? First of all, Sitecore provides [interactive training course](https://learning.sitecore.com/pathway/boxever-training) that is free of charge, and this is a good point to start. Also, after completing this training course, you can pass [Boxever End User](https://learning.sitecore.com/exam/boxever-advanced-certification) certification: ![](https://www.brimit.com/-/media/project/brimit/blog/2021/x3mxray/cdp/certification.jpg) #### Where to find documentation? - User documentation: - [Sitecore knowledge Hub](https://sitecore.cdpknowledgehub.com/docs) - [Sitecore docs](https://doc.sitecore.com/cdp/en/users/sitecore-customer-data-platform/introduction-to-sitecore-cdp.html) - Developer documentation: - [Sitecore Developer portal](https://developers.sitecore.com/customer-data-management/cdp) - [Sitecore docs](https://doc.sitecore.com/cdp/en/developers/sitecore-customer-data-platform--data-model-2-1/introduction-to-sitecore-cdp-2-1-data-model.html) - [Boxever API reference](https://developer.boxever.com/v2.0/reference/overviewjs) #### How to get access to Sandbox? Sitecore provides the [Sandbox environment](https://app.boxever.com/), where you can practice and work. ![Sitecore CDP Sandbox](https://www.brimit.com/-/media/project/brimit/blog/2021/x3mxray/cdp/sandbox2.jpg) If your organization doesn`t have yet sandbox account, you can get access by completing these three easy steps: 1. Complete the [Boxever training course](https://learning.sitecore.com/pathway/boxever-training) form Sitecore eLearning portal. 2. Pass [Boxever End User certification](https://learning.sitecore.com/exam/boxever-advanced-certification) and receive a certificate of completion. 3. Send email to [PartnerEnablement@sitecore.com](mailto:PartnerEnablement@sitecore.com) mailbox with your attached certificate (or link) to ask about access to Boxever sandbox environment.
