Stand out among the best

Holders of Atlassian certified designations are respected for their Atlassian skills and the value they bring to organizations and teams. They demonstrate expertise at the highest level. There’s no better way to show proficiency across Atlassian solutions than through these highly regarded designations.
There are two types of designations: expert and specialist.
  • The Expert designation is for those who have earned multiple certifications for administering Atlassian organizations and apps. Earning this designation demonstrates expertise in administering Atlassian solutions.
  • Specialist designations validate competency in Atlassian solutions for Agile DevOps, ITSM, the Teamwork Collection, and more.

Earn and maintain your designation

As soon as you meet the requirements for a designation, it will be automatically granted to you, and you'll continue to hold it as long as you maintain all the related credentials.
Be sure to renew your certification before the suspension date to maintain an active designation.
