Design Review Process

Applicants will have their experience and Level 3 Model Building course artifacts reviewed.

From the Level 3 Model Building courses, the following artifacts will be reviewed.

  • Model Schema

  • Model Blueprint

Should the artifacts contain any findings that violate Academy Professionalism & Training Integrity Guidelines, or if they do not meet Anaplan best practice guidelines, candidates will not be eligible to successfully complete the Anaplan Solution Architect certification. Candidates will have the option to redo these activities and resubmit their application after a period of three to six (3-6) months.

Anaplan does not tolerate cheating or dishonesty. Applicants who are found cheating or in violation of any of the Professionalism and Training Integrity Guidelines will be banned from all certifications-related activities and reapplication for six (6) months.
