As part of an ongoing series, Atlassian University offered this free webinar to strengthen your Atlassian product skills and learn directly from Atlassian experts.

Together, we learned from professionals who have studied for—and passed—an Atlassian Certification. We heard from @Joanna Thurmann @Jimmy Seddon, and @Hana Kučerová about how they did it and what it’s done for their career. This was intended for all Jira Cloud, Data Center, or Server administrators and project administrators.

Watch the webinar on demand and use the comments below to ask more questions of the panel.

@Syed I hope you're aware of the Certification Accelerator Experience at Team 21. ACP-620 is one of the exams and there will be plenty of sample questions as part of the experience.

My company needs a silver partnership and so we need an individual with 2 certifications (me). I only have a couple of months of experience with Jira as an Allround administrator - I have tried and failed the ACP-620 exam but I think I will succeed next attempt. What certificate would you recommend to me after the ACP-620? Do you have an internal release date for ACP-620 yet?

Hey @shrawan phuyal!

I'll let @Ben Thoma or @Joanna Thurmann speak to internal release dates, but I'm pretty sure ACP-620 is a live exam now.  Did you mean something else?

As for recommendations, that one is a little tricky.  I took the ACP-600 a year before taking the ACP-620 so I found it to be not too difficult as "most" of the topic were similar.  The ACP-120 I found to be more challenging than the ACP-620 (just my opinion).  If you need to earn a certification in addition to the ACP-620.  I think the ACP-120 and ACP-100 are your only options currently.

I'd recommend trying to get into the ACP-100 or ACP-120 Certification Accelerator program.  That will give you access to material, sample questions & study mates.

I hope that helps!

@Amina CHAYEB I agree with Jimmy above; the ACP-620 is already available. With respect to other certifications, here is a good page to review https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Training-Certification-articles/Looking-ahead-to-new-Certifications-and-Badges-in-2021/ba-p/1624679

Hi @Amina CHAYEB!

@Ben Thoma or @Joanna Thurmann may know differently, but as far as I know, the online exam option is always going to be available.

I'm in a similar situation that you are.  There is a testing centre in my region but due to COVID it is closed and has been for about a year now.

When you go to book an exam online you will be asked to select a date.  As long as there is a time slot available for the day and time in July you are looking to take an exam, you should be able to book something.

I hope that helps!

Hello @Gaurav!

You would bee to register for the CAE: https://events.atlassian.com/university_certification_accelerator_experience#Registration

However, the groups for the June certification are starting to populate now so I don't know if there is any space left.

@Ben Thoma are you able to comment on that?

@Gaurav It's still possible to register for a June cohort, but the window is closing, as the group's study starts next week. Click here to add the Certification Accelerator Experience to Team '21. A follow up email will be sent to you for completing the CAE registration.

Hello @Jimmy Seddon , @Ben Thoma

I registered about 12 hours ago for the June cohort but have not yet received any email on my business or personal mail id. Do I need to register again? 

I can push my certification to July if the June cohort is full and not accepting any further nominations.

Please share your feedback.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Ben Thoma ,

Awesome webinar! Touched on really important points.

On a related note, I've registered for the ACP-100 Jira administration for Data Center and Servers June Cohort, got the email but my request to join the group hasn't approved yet. IS there an additional process that needs to be completed?

My second question is I also want to join the July cohort for Cloud Admin cert., however, I couldn't see the option to enroll in this. Can I join two study groups.?

Thanks,

Gökçe

Hello @Jimmy Seddon , @Ben Thoma ,

I am trying to register for the July cohort for ACP-620 but the system is not taking my professional email id stating it has already been used. Hence, I registered using my personal id.

Is it possible to join both the cohorts for different certifications? If yes, kindly help me for registering to the ACP-620 cohort.

Thanks in advance.

I unfortunately don't have any insight into Atlassian's registration system for the Accelerator program.  @Julia  are you able to provide any assistance here?

@Gaurav We are currently only permitting enrollment in either the June or July cohorts, not both. The two groups timelines overlap and we want to make sure everyone is focused on just one Certification at a time. (Joining multiple may be an option if we continue this type of experience in the future.)

Hi, attended  Team 2021 with a all access pass type, it stod there that we would get a  50% off discount code for future Atlassian University Training Course, where can I get that code?

I am planning to take ACP-100, and want to do some of the courses first, any suggestion which one?
