Do you have time, an internet connection, and an interest in expanding your Atlassian knowledge?

[#1]

I thought I would quickly gather some of the resources available to you now and at no cost for you to increase your knowledge of Atlassian products.

From Atlassian

Atlassian offers free introductory level training great for new users and free skill-builders intended for those with or want to have Administrator permissions. Check out their free training catalogue.

If you are thinking at an organisation level, check out the Training for Jira app which also includes a progress report view for Administrators. 

Why should I consider Atlassian training and how so I decide what is right for me?

Check out this three-part series written last year (by me). They are mostly still accurate.

• In Part 1, Atlassian training is not one-size-fits-all, I provided details of the long-list of training available from Atlassian.
• In Part 2, Atlassian Training learning paths and their destinations, I provided details of the Atlassian learning paths and certifications.
• In Part 3, Maintaining your certifications, I provided the details on the ways you can maintain your Atlassian Certifications.

As of 11 December 2019, a lot of the numbers in this article became out of date due to the fantastic improvements to the Atlassian Certification program outlined here. An updated version of Maintaining your certifications in 2020 is here.

Other free training

The team at Think&Do are delivering free training in March, April, and May 2020,  with classes delivered every week. See https://www.thinkando.it/free-jira-training/

And with the new free tier, it's easier than ever to spin up your own instance so you can experiment and learn for yourself.

Great article and links! Think&Do is a great find, but bummed about the time zone for those in APAC.

Hi @JimmyVanAU We'll do a run of APAC friendly times - I think we can find a time that works for the US and APAC.
