Hi everyone,
I want to become an Atlassian Certified Expert by taking the Atlassian Cloud certifications. Is there any recommended order to take the certifications? I also became confused by the numbers (600, 300, etc). The certifications I am thinking of going for are as follows:
Managing Jira Projects for Cloud certification (ACP-620)
ACP-OA Atlassian Cloud Organization Admin
ACP-JCA Atlassian Certified Jira Administrator for Cloud (ACP-120)
ACP-MJSP Atlassian Certified Jira Service Project Manager for Cloud (ACP-420)
And Badge:
APB-CSA Confluence Space Administration Pro Skills Badge
Any suggestions on how best to tackle this?
Thank you.

Hi,
There's no specific order. The numbers is doesn't have relevance to the order you should take them. It is more related to a series in a particular domain.
6xx is project administration
4xx is Jira service management
1xx is Jira administration.
Take the ones relevant to your current job/role as @Ed Osborn mentioned. If you find yourself working more with end-user working in Jira. Take the 620 first. If you find yourself more on the product admin side, take 120 and follow by 420. IF you are an org admin in your company and managing users, then may want to take Organization admin early on. From my experience, 620 is easier of the exams if you want to ease into the certifications and get a feel for them.
Best of luck.
Just to add an additional view, personally I find that working from the lowest to the highest level of administration worked well for me, for the exams I've completed.
So I would do:
But, it is personal preference as others have said.

I agree with this (and also with the statement that you should aim for certs that are closest to your role in the org).
A suggestion would be to leave ACP-520 for the end as it combines the knowledge from ACP-620 and ACP-120 (+ some details about Confluence administration). So doing those first will make preparing for Org Admin certification much easier.
@Dominique Greene You can either take
APB-CSA Confluence Space Administration Pro Skills Badge or
ACP-MJSP Atlassian Certified Jira Service Project Manager for Cloud (ACP-420)
to become Atlassian Certified Expert you don't have to take both. I'd suggest starting with the easiest exam first and then go to the hardest:
ACP-MJSP Atlassian Certified Jira Service Project Manager for Cloud (ACP-420)
