  • Hi All,

    You need to ask for access from Anaplan Support "enablement@anaplan.com ".Please mail them and ask for access.

     

    Regards,

    Kirty

  • Email Community@anaplan.com not enablement, they are the team that updates it so you'll get a faster turn around 

  • Is there a seperate Solution Architext Exam and Master Anaplanner exam?  If yes, is SA required for Master Anaplanner?

     

    TIA!

     

    Jon

  • @jpause yes, the exams for Master Anaplanner and SA are separate. While SA is not currently a requirement for Master Anaplanner status, it is encouraged as it is part of the tiering requirements under PartnerConnect. Feel free to reach out to me directly with any further questions.

  • I can not find / access any Class 299 FP&A after completing both 102 and 201 over the weekend.  I need to get enrolled in the class

    as soon as possible.  Why is the process so inefficient to get enrolled in this class?

     

    Please let me know if any additional information is required.  I have already contacted support & academy@anaplan.com.

     

    Thank you.

  • HI There,

     

    Will the current 299 be retired and will you need to recertify  on Level 2 training once it is available?

     

    Best Regards,

    Level 1 and Level 2 is replacement of 100,102,201 and 299 FP& A Course. Whosoever completed those exams , they need to complete Level 1 and Level 2 as well. Level 3 will be coming soon as well. Please go to same site learning.anaplan.com where you all attempted the old exams.

  • Is there a public timeline for the release of the Level 3 Model Builder course? I recall seeing them for the Level 1 and Level 2 courses, but I have not seen anything other than "Coming Soon" for Level 3 for the last couple of months.

  • yes you are right , I too don't see anything else apart from coming soon status. there is no ETA given so far

  • @ChrisMullen is there an ETA for Level 3 Model building? Also what is some of the "Advanced Topic Coursework" required to certify for Solution Architect?

  • @Steven_Barry @kkumari @khendrikz We are planning on launching Level 3 Model Building OnDemand in February.

  • @ChrisMullen Is Level 3 Model Building still on track for launch in February?

  • Yes, we are doing some testing on it right now.  

  • @admin, Level 3 model building course is already here, I think this page needs to be updated with content and appropriate links.

  • @ChrisMullen What is the projected time for the new Solutions Architect to be released?

  • @Steven_Barry   Communications will be coming out by the end of the month

  • Hi all,

    I completed web-based Anaplan way course a month ago.

    I expect to get certification but there is no notification or digital budge in my account.

    Is it usual or do I need additional actions ??

  • Can someone complete Level-3 and become a Solution Architect with the help of the Talent Builder program as a fresher without having 1 year of experience, but by doing self-projects on the Talent Builder program?"

  • @11019294 No, Solution Architects must have real world Anaplan experience
