About this event


Whether you are a professional, a user, or someone seeking to gain an in-depth understanding of the value and impact of Atlassian certifications on your career and organization, this event is for you. Join us as we host the one and only Alex Ortiz, an experienced engineer, an ACP, author, and a resourceful, experienced Atlassian champion.

Atlassian offers many different certifications. The Atlassian Certified Associate (ACA) is Atlassian’s latest certification offering. These certifications are designed for folks that are a little less technical, but want a certificate that helps build their skills. The ACA’s are a little more affordable and are typically a little easier to obtain. The Atlassian Certified Professional (ACP) is Atlassian’s top tier certifications. These certifications are very technical in nature and folks that obtain these certifications prove that they know how to manage the Atlassian tools.

If you have been in the Atlassian ecosystem for a while or maybe you just jumped in, Atlassian certifications are highly recommended. In this Atlassian Community Event, Alex will take you through his journey of obtaining his first ACP certification. He will also share with you the value of obtaining certifications, how to study for the ACP/ACA, and many more tips that you will not want to miss out on!
