2025 Recertification
What if I certified for the first time in 2025? Do I need to recertify again this year?
No. After our system update on July 8, your certification will be automatically extended through December 31, 2026. In addition, your certification will be upgraded to the Professional level (rather than Associate).
Do I need to recertify if I initially certified before 2025?
Yes. Unless you’ve received a message confirming that you are part of an opt-out group, you will need to recertify before December 31, 2025 to maintain your certification status.
Do I need to take multiple recertification exams?
No. You only need to take one exam, based on your current certification level. For example, if you're a Certified Master Anaplanner, you'll only need to complete the Certified Master Anaplanner Recertification exam.
What if I'm in the middle of Level 3? How should I proceed?
If you’re currently working through Level 3 or have already completed the model build, you should continue and complete it. Your progress will still count toward certification.
To finalize your Solution Architect certification, you’ll take a new proctored exam through Webassessor. Registration instructions will be shared in the Solution Architect course in the Anaplan Academy.
Important: If you do not complete your Solution Architect certification by the end of 2025, you’ll need to pass a short, open-book Certified Model Builder recertification exam to retain your credential.
I'm a Certified Master Anaplanner, what do I need to do to recertify this year?
As in previous years, Certified Master Anaplanners must complete both the Technical Requirement and the Contribution Activity Requirement to maintain their certification.
There are two key changes this year:
- The Technical Requirement is now only required every two years.
- The Technical Requirement has been replaced with a proctored exam.
