How many hours will be required to prepare for the JIRA administrator course for a beginner?

[Varna Shetty]

Hi, I have never worked on JIRA before, but I want to learn the tool help support my company on Cloud (SAAS) version. So along with the essential training, how many hours should I practically require to be prepared for the JIRA administrator exam. And what are the resources I will require for the process?

You've got some great insights from Alex and Trudy. Personally, I like the learning paths at Atlassian University. That gives you the learning path for many roles, including Jira Admin. Typically, you will find the prerequisites and a recommended order to follow the courses.

I recommend that you make use of the training courses available through the Atlassian University. Take a look at these resources:

Hi @Varna Shetty and welcome to the community,

Atlassian recommends to work as a jira admin at least one year prior of taking the exams. There are many course you can take at university.atlassian.com, some free and other paid.
