We will test your ability to use Atlassian apps in various environments and contexts. To successfully earn an Atlassian credential, you’ll need to review test prep materials from Atlassian Learning, and you’ll need real-world experience.
Be sure to learn about any features of the app that are not part of your day-to-day work experience, and get real-world practice with those features if possible.
We want you to succeed on your first attempt, so we strongly recommend a careful preparation strategy, even for those with many years of experience.
