Online certification in Germany

[Paul Ceronio]

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to get some certification done before starting a new job in December.

- Can Jira certification be done via online proctoring in Germany? I'm too far away from the test centers for it to be worth my while.

- For the Jira Software Essentials Certification - is the doing the Prep on the "jira-software-essentials-certification" site enough to pass or should I be looking at some more in-depth material?

Thanks 😊

@Paul Ceronio Yes, you can certainly take it via online live proctoring from Germany. See this page on the PSI website: ACA-900 Jira Software Essentials 

As the Atlassian Certified Associate - Jira Software Essentials Certification page states, Atlassian recommends a mixture of hands-on experience using Jira Software, review of technical documentation, self-study, and our free on-demand or live team training options.

If you work a bit in Jira Software, the course content will help you learn the vast majority of what you need to know in order to pass the exam. Good luck. Don't forget to come back and let us know how you did.

Hi @Joanna Thurmann thanks so much for the info. I'll let you know how it went by all means!

Thanks again for the information.

I passed with just about zero hands-on experience. In hindsight, some experience would have been helpful, but I was too busy exploring prospects in other applications at the same time.
