October will be here before we know it. At this point, I'm a little concerned about expirations—specifically, not having enough time to prepare if new tests are required.  The skills badges that extended certifications did not require a huge time and cost commitment, but new certs need a lot of time to prepare, and costs can be high, especially if multiple attempts are needed.

Hi @Rob Horan, Tests will be no longer be required as part of the renewal strategy. Instead, renewals will be accomplished by completing courses on Atlassian University and attending Atlassian events. 

The vendor that manages the technical side of executing the logic is working on developing the module with a target roll out date in July. Details about the renewals will be coming in June. We will also provide an exception process if candidates feel they do not have enough time to renew.

I hope that helps and your patience is very much appreciated as the new program rolls out!

@Ree Kent - that's great!  I'm curious as to how event attendance would work.  Will remote attendance be an option?

@Suzanne Veljanoski I got the email from Atlassian to renew my certificate.

I want to extend my "Atlassian Certified Jira Administrator for Data Center ACP-JA ACP-100" but there are no badge exam available?

Any suggestions? Do we need to take the whole exam again?

Ravi

This is the email.

Dear Ravi Sagar,

Your Atlassian Certified Jira Administrator for Data Center certification is scheduled to become Suspended on Sep 28, 2024, and Expire on Dec 28, 2024.

1. To maintain your Certification, you need to extend it by earning one of the related Badges.
2. You should extend it before it becomes Suspended.
3. You must extend it before the Expiration date, or your Atlassian Certified Jira Administrator for Data Center credential will no longer be recognized. 

You can earn the necessary Badge from home or office.  Visit university.atlassian.com/student/activity/836788-maintain-your-certifications to find out which Badges are available now. 

You can review your certification progress and history by logging into the Certification Portal here: certmetrics.com/atlassian.

Best regards,
Atlassian Certification Team

@Ree Kent 

To renew your Atlassian Certified Jira Administrator for Data Center ACP-JA ACP-100 you can complete courses on Atlassian University and/or attend Atlassian events. Just to confirm, you need to renew this certification before December of this year. 

So I can complete a free course or attend Atlassian events to renew my certification? Really?

@Ree Kent I received this on 28th Mar. 

How will free courses and attending event extend my certificates? I don't see this information on the certificate portal. Is it implemented already or yet to be announced.

Thanks

Hi Atlassian team,

Like @Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_ I've received a similar email (on Mar 20th). July/August is the holiday season with less time to prepare for certification extensions. So the quicker the better.

It has always been a hassle to find out which badge extents the ACP. Will the new setup give me a better/easier way to see what is required?

I've noticed the changes in the cert metrics site.  Would it be possible to link the possible extensions in the cert portal? Maybe under 'view more'. That would be really helpful.

Hi @Reed Reed 

 

will we definitely be able to see the professional accreditations in the University profile associated with our personal Atlassian account?

Only the Sales ones appear to me but not the Delivery ones. I understood that they would be enabled by the mapping of the certifications ( See PSD-83980 )

 

Thanks

Hi @Luis Plaza 

I just want to confirm that I understand your question. Are you asking if your Enablement Academy accreditations will be displayed in Atlassian University?

Luis Plaza May 29, 2024

Hi @Ree Kent 

Exactly, in fact, some appear on my University profile right now ( Sales ) and I thought all the others should have moved ( Operations, Marketing, Technical delivery, etc..).

As I mentioned previously, we saw that a partner had associated accreditations of several former employees, so I opened a case to support   what I saw corrected after the partner Partnership Degree refresh carried out at the beginning of May, I couldn't tell you if after your migrations it has happened again ( Can you take a look for this matter in the ticket PSD-78102,?).

The only way for this not to happen is for personal Atlassian accounts to be the ones that have our accreditations and certifications associated.

Thanks

Hi @Luis Plaza ,

I looked into it and as far as I know, there is no current plan to add the channel accreditations in Atlassian University. However, I will share the request as we continue to update the Atlassian University platform.

@Luis Plaza Its my understanding that accreditations are specific to your partner business email address, as you cannot access the enablement academy using a personal address.  You can link your partner work email to your personal address to associate your certs with your partner org, but not the reverse.
