Fill the knowledge gaps with Skillbuilder courses

ACP exams test your complete knowledge of Atlassian products.

To dive further into topics and specific features, we encourage you to take Skillbuilder courses. Skillbuilders are free lessons to help you fill in the topic or feature gaps in your product knowledge – areas that you might not have firsthand experience yet.

These selected Skillbuilders will help you prepare for this exam:

General tips to be successful on your exam

  • Get hands-on practice across all the topics. Focus on areas you don't spend a lot of time working with.

  • Understand how Jira operates with no apps installed.

  • Check out the Atlassian product documentation. You'll discover slight differences in topics that might not know about.

  • If you normally use a localized product, be sure to use the English version to prepare for the exam. That way you'll be familiar with the names of menu options and other product features.

  • You're only allowed to have a few specific items with you during your exam:

    • A hard copy of the English or English Translation Dictionary (Printed on paper. Not digital.) This is allowed both online or at testing centers.
    • Pencil/pen and paper. These are allowed at testing centers only and have to be supplied by the testing center.
    • Water in a clear container
