ACP-600 - Thinking of doing this exam

[habib rahman]

I wanted to get the ACP-600 Certification and was thinking will this be the best bet to do for my first exam with Atlassian? I wanted to do an easy one to get the ball running.

Thanks, habib

Hello, @habib rahman !

The ACP-600 exam was retired as of last November.  If you were studying for that, you may want to look at the ACP-610 exam.

Hi @habib rahman 

Robert is right that ACP-600 has been retired, but it's been replaced by ACP-610 (Data Centre) and ACP-620 (Cloud).

Which platform are you more familiar with? Cloud or Data Centre?

When you sign up for the certification bundle you get course materials for both exams.
Cloud might be an "easier" option because you can easily spin up your own personal Jira instance on a free license (for up to 10 users) and play around.

The ACP610/620 exams are often referred to as the "easiest" exams, but they are still very challenging.

A lot of the questions will be around what you can't do as a Project Administrator and what you'll need to refer to a Jira Admin.

Atlassian recommends a significant amount of time in the tools as a Project Admin before attempting the exam, and the course material reflects this.  The course is great for surface level knowledge, but the exam questions are largely scenario based, and only experience in the tools can truly help with that. 

I don't believe there is such thing as an easy Atlassian exam, I've seen incredibly clever people fail multiple times, and there's enough commentary in the Atlassian community to reflect how difficult the exams can be.

Not trying to discourage you, but unless you're in a rush to get certified if I were in your position I'd take my time living in the toolchain, study up the courseware, try some practice tests and give it a go.  I failed ACP-600 on my first attempt, and it wasn't until much later that I had built up the knowledge needed to attack ACP-610/620

Good luck :)

Hi, Guys thanks yes I saw they changed this over to the ACP-620 cloud.

I have seen some sample questions that seem to try to trick you up, But thank you am going to practice next few weeks and then try my luck hopefully I do well and pass my first one so I can carry on doing some more. 

Thanks, guys been really helpful and insightful. Habib
