Hey @Jai Solanki ,

For Atlassian Cloud Foundations exam, I would recommend going through official prep University materials and courses: Prepare for the Atlassian Cloud Foundations certification. 📚 The University team has really done a fantastic job over the past year with these resources—they're super helpful. 🙌

While the materials cover a lot of the exam topics, it's highly recommended to have some hands-on experience. From personal point of view, it’s really helpful to have practical knowledge. That being said, you can use maybe sandbox environments (if you have those as part of your organization); or you can always start a free trial site and add products relevant to your exam.

Additionally, official documentation and Atlassian Community are other resources you can also use as an extra support.

Good luck with the exam!! 🍀

Cheers,
Tobi

This one is different than the other 3 certs I took, I couldn’t find an actual course for it, instead it’s more like an information dump, below is what I gathered for this so far as I’m about to start studying for it also, just taking a break as I just finished 2 other certs last month from Atlassian. 

Also from my understanding it would be a good idea to know what each product Atlassian offers.

I will follow this post also to see what other feedback you get, thanks!

I decided to start with [ACA-915 Atlassian Cloud Foundations](https://university.atlassian.com/student/activity/2227941-atlassian-cloud-foundations#/page/670ebb67a1887954d16cbce1 "‌"), which seemed like a logical choice. I initially expected it to cover cloud organizations and sites - something like an easier version of [ACP-520 Atlassian Cloud Organization Admin](https://university.atlassian.com/student/activity/2228001-atlassian-cloud-organization-admin#/page/670ec089a1887954d1963e7e "‌"). Instead, this certification focuses on the fundamentals of all cloud products, their use cases, purposes, integrations, and available information sources and support options.

I learned a lot new information. While I mainly work with Jira, JSM, JPD, Confluence, Bitbucket and Trello, I had to look more into products like Compass. Also, despite being in the Atlassian ecosystem for several years, I had for example never heard of [Atlassian Success Central](https://success.atlassian.com/ "‌").

I know this post might be a little bit old now, but below are updated links for this. 

Certificate: https://community.atlassian.com/learning/landing/certification-detail/atlassian-cloud-foundations#/page/670ebb67a1887954d16cbce1

Prepare: https://community.atlassian.com/learning/collection/cert-prep/atlassian-cloud-foundations-prep

It seems this cert was updated, I am not seeing the information dump that used to be there, that actually stopped me from taking this cert back then as it seemed all over the place. Now it seems the study material is more focused, 6 courses total, and they are all great. I also included the products link as it seems it's good to know for this from other posts I have read.

I just passed this certification, and I had little prior knowledge of Atlassian products before preparing. I studied using the Atlassian University Prep course and felt that it was a great preparation tool. One thing I noted that was mentioned in the test but not in the prep course was Beacon. 

Best of luck on your journey.

thanks @Tiffany Lynn Cortez-Machado

True, passed the test today and they still mention Beacon although it was never mentioned in the prep course.

Another confusing thing I noticed is that Atlas has changed to Atlassian Home, but it's still called Atlas in the test. 

Best

Same here for the mention of Beacon in the test - it's still not in the training materials, but is regularly mentioned by people when discussing exam preparation.

Hey guys,

Quick info on that matter - a few ACA exams are scheduled to be updated in the upcoming weeks/months.

👉 Anyway, when you're taking an exam, you should see a 'Comment' button for each question, where you can write down notes and also comments that are then visible to the Alpine (and then Atlassian) team. 👀
These are then (at least from my knowledge) reviewed by the team when they are refreshing an actual exam.

I'll also forward this feedback to the learning and certification team.

Cheers,
Tobi
