Designed for you to become a Jira Project Administrator in Jira Cloud

These Jira Software courses are designed to prepare you for the role of a Jira Project Administrator in Jira Cloud. But you can still learn how to use Jira Software even if you don’t choose to become a Project Administrator. There are approximately 30+ hours of training within these courses:

  • Jira Fundamentals

  • Jira Essentials with Agile Mindset

  • Gain project insights through JQL

  • Managing Jira Projects

  • Managing Permissions in Jira

The access window begins when you first initiate the lab environment, regardless of when you enrolled in the course.
