Course Description

This Jira & Confluence Masterclass is the only course you need to get up to speed with Atlassians powerful project management tool Jira.


Picture this: you're sitting across from your manager, confidently fielding every question with a single click. Why? Because you've built a powerful, insightful dashboard that provides crystal-clear transparency into your project, making you the go-to expert in the room.


This is the only course you will need to master Jira & Confluence for agile and non-agile projects and teams!


"A fool with a tool is still a fool!" 

We´ve all heard this phrase before and that´s why this course does not focus on teaching every single feature of Jira, but on teaching what really matters to get your team, project or product a head start and help you succeed in your work or career.


WHAT JIRA CAN DO FOR YOU

being proficient in Jira can help you in getting...

  • a new or better job

  • a raise or promotion

  • a new exciting task or project

  • your team or project successfully across the finish line

  • a big privat project organized (like a wedding)

  • or simply make you an even more valuable asset of your team and company


WHY TAKE EXACTLY THIS COURSE?

I know. There are already a few great Jira courses out there and some of them have already thousands of students.


The reason is simple. I´m not an Atlassian Consultant. I´m a project manager. I´m a user.

That´s what i know. That´s what i teach. I teach what moves you forward, not everything the system is capable of.

Therefore, this course is not for those who want to become a Jira-Admin.


In recent years, as a project and portfolio manager, I have repeatedly witnessed colleagues and friends being thrown into new projects or project management roles overnight.

In these moments, you’re expected to quickly learn new skills and rise to the challenge, but some of my colleagues  struggled to find their footing in the new role and didn´t know how to organize their new tasks. The complexity and challenges left them feeling overwhelmed, drained, and unable to enjoy their new roles.

We all want to succeed and take the next step in our career, but without a little help it can be a daunting task.


I´m here to help. I created this course because I couldn’t find a comprehensive course that, from the perspective of a practitioner and project manager, covered the specific use cases my colleagues and I needed back then.



ONLY THIS COURSE PROVIDES...


  1. insights on the latest version of Jira Software Cloud | Even including the brand new Jira sidebar!

  2. more content than comparable courses, but remains focussed on the key issues

  3. fun and great food for thought: additional articles, comics, opinions and links to inspiring content that goes beyond Jira´s features

  4. better downloads and One-Pagers for you to use as quick-reference while setting up your own project or talking to colleagues

  5. a carefully designed curriculum with introductions, wrap-up´s and quizzes to ensure that you remember what really matters

  6. a naturally designed course structure that is easy to follow along with your own project

  7. real-life examples from an experienced project manager and Jira user

  8. no BS or babbling around. Concise content that helps you succeed (i´m german, we get straight to the point ;-))

  9. abilitiy to learn according to your own schedule by providing short videos that tackle a single topic at a time

  10. various ways of testing what you´ve learned: Quizzes, Assignments with easy and more difficult options for you to choose and short and concise Wrap-Up´s of each chapter

  11. Support - I´ll do my best to answer any question you might have

Only with this course you´ll get actionable advice on important functionalities and features combined with a free and powerful workbook, as well as links to inspiring additional content.



MY MISSION:

Project-based work is becoming more important every day, and I’ve seen how people like you can suddenly find themselves thrown into challenging project responsibilities overnight. My mission is to make project management knowledge accessible to everyone.


For this course my goal is not only to help you master Jira, but also to make you understand how you can apply Jira in your daily business



AT THE END OF THE COURSE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:


  • setup a Jira project and a Confluence Workspace for your team or company

  • apply all important features of Jira & Confluence

  • create customized workflows, issues and screens

  • understand and create reports and dashboards

  • combine Jira & Confluence in an professional manner and to...

  • know several Apps that will enhance your Jira experience

By Aleksandra Pettke on 6/12/2026

The course is very well structured and easy to follow. I wasn’t expecting such a deep dive into Jira, and some of the functionalities covered are outside the scope of my role. However, it was still very useful to learn about Jira’s broader capabilities. I was expecting more information about Confluence, though, and would have appreciated a deeper focus on that topic.

By Stef Magini on 5/11/2026

This course is absolutely perfect to dive into Jira core functionalities and the way Niels explains the fundamental topics and every single detail is absolutely perfect. The only suggestion that I have: majority of the lessons are based on the old Jira version and sometimes can be a little bit tricky as Jira removed some functionalities and/or renamed them differently. Thank you Niels, this was a very helpful course nicely organised and explained.

By CARLO CASTELLO on 3/31/2026

The course was very interesting, full of knowledge and insights. The instructor was very precise and engaging. The course covered topics I work with regularly and others that are beyond my scope and that I won't use, but it was still useful to learn about these features.

By Eric Chang on 12/30/2025

J'utilise Jira tous les jours au bureau. Il y a beaucoup de notions que je possède déjà. Pour le cours, j'ai installé mon propre Jira mais la version semble plus avancée que dans le cours et les projets ont été remplacés par des espaces.

By Manjula Thapar on 12/5/2025

Instructor is knowledgeable and passionate about teaching. Course content is wonderful and in depth, however, I had an issue with the format of the course; Maybe, it needs to be divided into 2 sections, one to cover Scrum, then to cover Kanban, and finally talk about differences. Switching between Scrum and Kanban so often is confusing. I got a free Jira trial but lot of what is taught in the course does not match. I could not find the fields in the same places and could not duplicate the work. This is the reason I could not do all the assignments. I am a visual person and would have learned more if I could do the assignments confirming I understand everything. Thank you!

By Dera Irés CORTEZ ORELLANA on 11/13/2025

Thank you, Niel, for the clear and practical JIRA course. I found the content very useful and easy to apply to future projects. I especially appreciated your real examples and direct, hands-on approach. Even with some platform updates, it was easy to follow and locate the features you explained. Great value for the investment. Wishing you all the best!

By John Burrows on 10/11/2025

Presenter and slides are good. The free online instance of Jira is different than what is being presented in the training which has made it a little more difficult to follow with my own instance. The presenter refers to 'Issues' but in the free online instance of Jira that use 'Work' instead so it took me little while to figure that out.

By P.A. van Es on 7/17/2025

The explanations were clear and patient, supported by plenty of practical examples and relevant best practices for both Jira and Confluence. The instructor effectively bridged theory and practice, making the content immediately applicable in a real-world work environment. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get more out of the Atlassian tools. Thank you Niels!

By Israel Taveras on 6/3/2025

I wanted to learn to navigate my way around Jira and understand metrics, automations and different configuration menus. So far, the course has been great for this! I wish there were more scrum applications and things like what to look out for using metrics but I get that this was a bit more general and to appease a more broad audience. I am still getting through the course so there is more to learn and maybe have my questions answered but pretty great so far. Also, PLEASE DO MORE LESSONS IN ENGLISH.. I really enjoy the learning I get from this course and went looking for more but they are all in German (I think). Thanks for this course! :)

By Moorthy Rajendran on 1/29/2025

The course is well-structured, offering a comprehensive overview of how to use Jira effectively, from basic navigation to advanced project management features. The instructor excels at breaking down complex topics into easy-to-understand segments, making it ideal for both beginners and those looking to refine their skills. It would be helpful if you could add a section on how testing can be done when separate test cases are required, along with the best practices for managing them. Also, let us know when we can expect the portfolio management course. :)
