Announcing #AlwaysBeLearning: A University + Community Series to Help you Grow

[#1]

Happy September, Training & Certification community!

We’re excited to announce a new series this month: #AlwaysBeLearning. Maybe you know your 'ABC’s — Always Be Closing. We want to kick off this month in praise of ABL — Always Be Learning.

You might have heard last week that select courses in our paid training catalog are temporarily frozen while we prepare some much-needed (and very exciting) price reductions—that doesn’t mean the learning has to stop! In fact, in this season of back-to-school, we’re here to remind you that it’s always a good time to be learning and growing — and to point you to ways you may not have thought about expanding your learning journey through Atlassian University.

Each Tuesday in September, we’ll provide fresh content right here. We’ll share key lessons:

• Lesson #1: Already a pro? Why it might be time to certified

• Lesson #2: Learning is better together: it’s time to train with your team again!

• Meet Deepanshu Natani, Atlassian Certified Expert

• Lesson #3 | Why Inspiration = Motivation (Bonus: Tag a Study Buddy!)

• Atlassian Certified Expert Pramodh Kumar M on why helping others and certification go hand in hand

• Lesson #4: How to share Atlassian University with the University students you know

We’ll also be showcasing Community Leaders, interns, and customers showing us how you can earn your certifications and pursue your learning journey regardless of where you are and what you do.

What’s in it for you?

Glad you asked! If you are in the kudos program and you participate in our #AlwaysBeLearning series, you will earn a special, limited-edition #AlwaysBeLearning badge. (See below, so cute, ya?) Here’s what to do:

• Like five posts in the series

• Comment on at least one post

• Share at least one post on social media

Not in the kudos program yet? You can request to join right here.

Plus, we’ll have more fun surprises throughout the month, including something special for our most engaged users. 😉

The savviest Atlassian customers already know that whether or not your school days are over, learning is lifelong. Go ahead and join our Training and Certification Group and our kudos program if you haven’t already, and we’ll see you throughout this next month!

See you soon,

The Atlassian University Team

Seems like we are going to hit that learning peddle and unlearn to relearn with a fresh and updated content  #AlwaysBeLearning.

Hi @Jaime Netzer regarding "We’ll also be showcasing Community Leaders"--> Does it mean all ACL's will get a walk through about this program?

[Joseph Chung Yin]

Just joined this new group.  Looking forward to participate.

Best, Joseph

WHY WHY WHY did September have to start on a Thursday! I want it to be Tuesday already. I didn't think Tuesdays could get better, but they just did.

[Brant Schroeder]

@Jaime Netzer Looking forward to the information you will be sharing.

[Pramodh M]

Interesting to see what Atlassian brings next to community with University contents!!

Exciting! 💙

[John Funk]

Encouraging others to learn more is fantastic! Leaders are learners!!

[Dave Liao]

Who's not jazzed for discounts? That should make it more appealing for folks who are on the fence on getting Atlassian certified.

The other day a Jira admin mentioned to me that he's looking to get more certs soon - and speaking of sharing, I'm sharing this article with him right meow

Hi @Jaime Netzer waiting for today's post regarding, "Each Tuesday in September, we’ll provide fresh content right here".

[Jaime Netzer]

Thanks for keeping me honest, @G subramanyam  — it's coming later this afternoon!

[Joseph Chung Yin]

@Jaime Netzer -

Have not seeing the meeting invite.  Am I missing something?

Best, Joseph

[Ollie Guan]

Cool!

[Max Foerster - K15t]

Nice, I'm looking forward to the content. I'm a great friend of Atlassian University, as you can tell from my profile. But even more so with the team behind it. We are connected by a few nice years of working together. 💙

[Joanna Thurmann]

@Max Foerster - K15t - yes, indeed. You are the bedrock of partnerships in certifications at Atlassian University. 

[Jaime Netzer]

Hi @Joseph Chung Yin — no meetings, just great content here on Community every Tuesday in September! Glad you're here.

[Summer Hogan]

This looks great! 

[Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_]

Great! Thanks for sharing

[Tosha Liveoak]

@Jaime Netzer When it says to "comment on at least one post", would this be in the Atlassian community?  Or on Social Media?

[Tosha Liveoak]

Another for me!  We're excited!!
