Thanks for reply :

It say following. This means I need to have 4 certifications in total. Is my understanding correct.

I already have ACP-MJCP and i am planning ACP-JCA and ACP-MJSP.

Path A: One Jira Administrator Certification

Hold one of the following:

ACP-MJCP Atlassian Certified in Managing Jira Projects for Cloud
ACP-MJDP Atlassian Certified in Managing Jira Projects for Data Center
AC-JPA Atlassian Certified Jira Project Administrator for Data Center and Server**
ACP-JSW Atlassian Certified in Agile Development with Jira Software*

Hold any two of these three:

EITHER: ACP-JSD Atlassian Certified Jira Service Desk Administrator* OR ACP-MJSP Atlassian Certified Jira Service Project Manager for Cloud
EITHER: ACP-CA Atlassian Certified Confluence Administrator for Data Center and Server* OR APB-CSA Confluence Space Administration Pro Skills Badge
ACP-SA Atlassian Certified System Administrator*

Thanks for your reply.

Hi @Vivek Chauhan

You have a good plan. You will also need the APB-CSA: Confluence Space Administrator Pro-Badge as the final requirement to achieve your goal!

Hi @Jimmy Seddon ,

Just to confirm basically Path A = 3 Exams + 1 Pro-Badge for Confluence?

I ask as at first I thought we just needed 2 exams + 1 Pro-Badge. Maybe that was the older requirements.

Thanks,

Lenny

@Alexa , your other option is to earn 2 Jira Admin certifications: 1 for DC and 1 for Cloud.

As follows:

ACP-JA

ACP-JCA

ACP-MJDP

APB-CA

See https://university.atlassian.com/student/activity/844004-atlassian-certified-expert.

Thanks, @Julia! We are trying to keep it Data Center-specific but based on your feedback and Jimmy's, it seems like we'll have to earn a Cloud one no matter what. If a Data Center equivalent becomes available, please update https://university.atlassian.com/student/activity/844004-atlassian-certified-expert when you can. I appreciate the follow-up and quick response!

How long did it take to become Atlassian Certified Expert? I understand there are several exams which need to be taken. I'm looking for perspective from those successfully completed one of the two paths.

Jimmy Seddon

Hi @thob,

I have successfully complete all of the Cloud path and half of the Server/DC path (my company moved to Cloud which changed my exam focus).

I'm going to answer it from my personal experience.

I didn't start taking any of the exams until I had about 6 years of Jira Admin experience in my job. The first one I was at an in person training class and then I studied on my own for about a week before tasking the exam and passing on the first attempt.

The next couple of exams I did about a month apart with about 2 1/2 weeks of on my own study time and a week off in between to rest up.

The last couple I needed to wait until Atlassian released them but same thing. About 2 - 2 1/2 weeks of at my own pace studying and then wrote the exam. Passed all of them on the first attempt.

Now, I had a lot of hands on experience to work with before I started writing any or the exam which I think gave me an advantage and these exams were by no means easy even with my experience.

However, depending on how much time you can devote to studying for each exam and how much rest time you want/need in between each, you could be done in as quickly as a few weeks or months. If you need more time it could take up to a year or longer.

I hope that helps!

Thanks for sharing your experience @Jimmy Seddon I didn't think about taking into account Atlassian release schedule.
