Hi @Syed Osama,

Welcome to the Community!

The short answer to your question is this post by Atlassian back in December: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Training-Certification-articles/Evolving-the-Atlassian-Certification-Program/ba-p/2562291

As of Friday, the existing Pro-skill badges have been retired and a number of things are being put on hold until a new system rolls out in July of this year.

I hope that helps!

Hi @Jimmy Seddon,

Thanks a lot

Ok, I read it they are talking about a lot of different paths coming in the near July.

but the new ACA (Atlassian Certificate Associate) for beginners can I take this exam or the ACA will also be retiring? can I take this exam as a fresher? 

looking forward to  

[Jimmy Seddon]

The ACA exams are brand new and here to stay.  I also have it on good authority that there are more ACA exams coming out in the new future for you to earn as well.

Thank you @Jimmy Seddon  for jumping in to answer.

Yes,  @Syed Osama These two links explain the retirement of several certifications, pro skills badges, and the ACE designation:

• Evolving the Atlassian Certification Program 
• Retiring Credentials & Certifications.

The 6 Professional Certifications as well as the 2 Associate Certifications are here to stay as Jimmy noted. And yes, new ones on the way very shortly :-) 

Thank you for your interest and patience as we evolve the program.
