[Abhay Gupta]

@Stefan Svensson - my buddy and mentor. I loved learning together and it was great fun! It is inspiring how much one can learn by exploration and real work, even without a formal certification.

Greate, I like the inspiration = motivation idea.

Hello I'm new here, I need guidance on where to start the Jira and Confluence training please.

[Andy Gladstone]

@progress onoyivwe Welcome to the Atlassian Community! 

Atlassian University has some great free (and paid) resources. I highly recommend you take the Confluence Fundamentals and Jira Fundamentals courses, which are free, recently revamped, and an excellent primer for how to use these products.

I also recommend you create a personal Space in your Confluence instance and just start playing there with creating, editing, formatting and using macros for pages and content - hands on experience is the best experience to learn from! You can do the same in Jira by creating a test project.

Good luck!

Something that I would really like in Atlassian courses or training is for them to also be Spanish

Studying with partners is the best. I even find studying different topics while with other people is helpful... sort of the same trauma-bond of a project or exam helps you keep at it.
