Hi @vikram welcome to the Atlassian community.

You are in the correct forum for the training and certification. Here's the ACP-120 link with content, fees, skill builder courses from getting started to completion.

Hi @vikram

probably also helpful to answer the process more in detail is the recorded webinar which shows the needed steps in a quite easy to understand way - it also reveales some useful tips&tricks, just have a look:

• Atlassian Certification: 5 Insider Tips for Success

Happy studying and all of best luck when taking the exam!

@vikram You should sign up for Atlassian's ACP-100 Jira Administration for Data Center and Server Exam Success Course, which is free.

@Julia I have already signed up and completed this.

Hi @Julia

seems like this content is not available anymore:

https://university.atlassian.com/student/page/1178712-jira-administration-for-data-center-certification-prep-acp-100-course-description

Is there any other way I could access it?

[Joanna Thurmann]

Hi @Sebastian B and all who look at this post. 

Unfortunately, the pre course for the ACP-100 "as it was" is now obsolete. However, if you visit this page ACP-100 Jira Administration for Data Center , you will see two other courses, plus nearly 100 sample questions, and an exam topic guide. 

Good luck to all those preparing.

Hi @Joanna Thurmann

out of curiosity, the pre-course just got outdated? :) Thanks

[Joanna Thurmann]

@Sebastian Baginski We redesigned the exam content itself - more focus on project schemes and their configuration, and less focus on deep system-related features and functionality which is less frequently used or touched only once during initial setup. We also removed some less important topics. This then aligned the exam closer to the original training course. So for that reason, we removed it and steer people to that course.

At the same time, we added many more sample questions. They are golden, when it comes to prep. When candidates read ALL the notes thoroughly -- both why an option is correct AND why the others are incorrect -- it really helps to prepare them.

Hi @Joanna Thurmann

working daily with Jira, I am still a bit worried that ~2.68 minutes per question is not enough to give it a full & proper focus. Any suggestions on that aspect on the exam?

Are there partial points for a question answered partially correct?

Thank you,

[Joanna Thurmann]

@Sebastian B All the exam questions on the ACP-100 have only a single correct answer, so there is no partial credit required. Some of the sample questions have multiple answers so in a way, they are harder than exam questions. Folks may feel they need more time on exams due to learning disabilities or other challenges. If so, they can open a support request to have that accommodation. Good luck!  Come back and let us know how you did!

[Sebastian B]

@Joanna Thurmann thank you for kind words, I definitely will let you know how it went :)

To simplify: sample questions (from the PDF) contain multiple-choice questions, however, the exam ones will only have single-choice questions, right? 

[Joanna Thurmann]

@Sebastian B Yes, that is correct. 

[Sebastian B]

Hi @Joanna Thurmann

thank you for your tips & suggestions :) 

Forgot to mention but I have passed the exam back in September :)

[Joanna Thurmann]

Yahoo!  Huge congratulations @Sebastian B !  Great accomplishment!

[Sebastian B]

Thanks @Joanna Thurmann

how can I add this certification to my public Atlassian profile here?

[Joanna Thurmann]

@Sebastian B Go to your community profile, under the University tab -->  https://community.atlassian.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4859101?show=university#details

And then you should be able to link your credentials. If not, please open a support ticket.

For anyone studying for the ACP-100... 

The exam page Jira Administration for Data Center contains a link to a PDF of nearly 100 sample questions.  You should see the link to the PDF in the yellow box that reads “Recommended experience and training”. Shortly, it may be moved to another dedicated prep page linked off of the main exam page. But either case, you will find the PDF of Sample Questions.

These sample questions contain very detailed explanations of why each option is correct or incorrect. They thoroughly represent the type of questions found on the actual ACP-100 exam, in terms of breadth and depth of content covered. If you study those, and feel good about the knowledge, you should do well on the exam. Good luck to everyone preparing!
