How long are Atlassian certifications valid?

ACA and ACP certifications are valid for 24 months (2 years). After that, you have a 90-day grace period to renew by earning continuing education (CE) units. ACA requires 50 CE units and ACP requires 100 CE units for renewal. The free ACH certificates (Rovo Fundamentals, Forge Fundamentals) are valid for 12 months and can be renewed by retaking the free exam.

What happened to Atlassian Server and Data Center certifications?

Atlassian retired all Data Center certifications (ACP-100 and ACP-610) on September 11, 2025. Existing holders had their expiration dates extended by two years with no CE units required. Atlassian has fully transitioned to a Cloud-only certification program, reflecting the end of Server product support and the strategic focus on Cloud.

What is the difference between ACA, ACP, and ACH credentials?

ACA (Atlassian Certified Associate) certifications are for end users and team members who use Atlassian tools daily, costing $100 each. ACP (Atlassian Certified Professional) certifications are for administrators with 1-2+ years of hands-on experience, costing $249 each with 3-hour proctored exams. ACH (Atlassian Certificate Holder) credentials are free, non-proctored certificates for specific products like Rovo and Forge.

What is the Teamwork Collection Specialist designation?

Launched in October 2025, the Atlassian Certified Teamwork Collection Specialist (TWC) designation recognizes professionals who demonstrate cross-tool proficiency across Atlassian's Teamwork Collection. You earn it automatically by holding certifications for Jira, Confluence, Loom, and Rovo. The designation remains active as long as all underlying certifications are maintained.

How much do Atlassian certification exams cost?

ACA (Associate) exams cost $100 USD each. ACP (Professional) exams cost $249 USD each. ACH certificates (Rovo Fundamentals, Forge Fundamentals) are free. Atlassian occasionally offers discounted pricing at events such as Team '26 where exams are available for $79.
