Besides Atlassian Certifications, there are many more credentials, such as Skill Batches (ASB), Pro Skill Batches (APB), and Atlassian University Credentials (only with a name), available. I will write another post about them later and focus on the Certifications.
Initially, it was difficult to understand the differences between the ACP Exam Number and the short Certification Name. For example, you take the ACP-100 exam and earn the ACP-JA Certification. Some of the Certifications have been retired because of the support end for server products or have been upgraded automatically.
Please be aware that the name of the exam, for example, “Project Administration in Jira Server,” and the credential “Jira Server Project Administration,” sometimes have minor differences. The same goes for the different Usage of “Administration” and “Administrator” or the inconsistent usage of “Atlassian” in the names. This has created many other uses by people and has made me read twice and carefully to understand which certification it is about.
