Great call out @Carlos Garcia Navarro! That's very true. However, please note that the free version doesn't allow you to learn much when it comes to setting custom permissions.
If you are looking for advice or opinions on Atlassian certifications, here it goes:
As someone who was interested in becoming certified, I have found that their exams are deliberately put together in a very incoherent manner; specifically, the Jira for Data Center Certification. The questions barely make any sense and the answers for each selection are either identical or in no way represent the best answer to the question. Clearly, whoever is putting the exam together does not possess adequate writing skills. in addition, the exam prep will in no way prepare you for this certification. I had reconsidered taking the exam but between the scammy and fraudulent approach that Atlassian has taken, and the cost for this certification, I can see no justification, ROI, or significant career advancement from this certification. $250 for a project tracking certification is unreasonably high in my honest opinion.
Ultimately, the choice is yours. Good luck to you in your certification pursuit.
Wow, that's a honest review for the exam, certified or not I will like to master/up skill myself and be well equipped with it. Going ahead with your review in mind I will surely like to give one try with the exam, I might not have the affordability for the 2nd time if it really takes $250.
But thanks for the heads up, but I will give my fair share of try
Best of luck to you in your exam! Hopefully Atlassian is reading this and takes action to terminate the person who created the exam and rewrites it in a coherent manner.
