I have completed 102 and 201, what should I do?
We recommend viewing all of the content in the Level 1 Model Building course . If you have already completed 102 and 201, you can download the completed model and take the exam. You can then do the Level 2 training and attend The Anaplan Way class to become a Certified Model Builder.
Why did you change the training path?
We made the decision to re-imagine the platform certification path to better scale the Anaplan ecosystem and meet training demand. The existing content (102, 201, 299, etc.) is dated in both learning mechanism and in subject matter best practices have been learned in the field over the past 3 years. These best practices have been incorporated into the new training coursework, and we believe this improved experience will improve the ramping process for field consultants. The decision to redesign was not made lightly, and we are aware that an investment is required to recertify resources; however, we believe the new content will produce a better experience for everyone!

Hi there - think that this should be more widely published out. Might be quite a lot of people trained under the old courses that aren't aware of the need to remain certified under the new structure.
