The Atlassian Technical Sales accreditation is a part of the Solution Partners Program - to find out specific details about that accreditation you must be enrolled in the process of becoming a Partner. You can find general information in their Partner program brochure <https://www.atlassian.com/dam/jcr:2f384a45-936b-46be-b410-1280d003f6d7/082317a_ATL_SolutionBrochure_Updates_v3.pdf>

You can find the home of that brochure here: <https://www.atlassian.com/partners/join>

Hope this helps!

body: Hi Mike,

thanks for your answer. Yes this is the partner program and i have the task to investigate for my boss ;-)

I had already found that but the brochure ist without prices and a detailed procedure or detailed requirements.

In my investigation for the prices i had found 150 $ for the preparation course and 350 $ for a ACP exam so complete inclusive 2 exam i have i price of 1.000 $(2 prep, 2 ACP).

But there is no price for the final certification... or is this certifikation for free? That would surprise me.

Thanks a lot

body: The final certification is free in terms of cost. You do have to go through a lot of training to get there, so it takes a bit of time. It's of the form of online videos and quizzes on the subject matter you've just seen.

body: To clarify:

Earning two Atlassian Certifications is *part of* your path to the Atlassian Technical Sales accreditation.

Costs for the Certification part:

Certification Prep Courses: $50 to the public, but FREE if you are participating in the Solution Partner program.

Certification Exams: $250.

Every 24 months: Maintain your Certification with Badges: $20 or $35

author: Yves Johannes
body: Is the path of the Atlassian Sales accreditation the same like the Technical Sales? Or have the sales accreditation another certifications?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: To get the Technical Sales accreditation, you need to take the Sales accreditation and pass two exams.

Think of it as the same thing, but the "technical" only applies when you've proven you have the tech skills.


author: Yves Johannes
body: Before we get it wrong. We need the sales accreditation for 700 $ (2 exams) and 2 additional exams for 700 $ = 1.400 $ = Technical Sales accreditation ???

sorry if I misunderstood you


author: Julia
body: The Sales Accreditation does not have costs associated with it, because it does not have a Certification component.

<br />

The Technical Sales Accreditation does have costs, but those cost are strictly associated with earning the 2 Technical Certifications.

Sales Accreditation ($0) + (***No*** Technical Certs) ($0) = Sales Accreditation ($0)

Sales Accreditation ($0)+ 2 Technical Certifications ($$) = Technical Sales Accreditation ($$)
