With the last month of the year now underway, I'm pleased to extend another welcome to all our newest Learner's Lounge members! I hope you'll find that this Group provides opportunities for interaction with other Learners that will aid you in making the most of your Anaplan access. Be sure to post your questions any time you have them, and help cheer along the milestones and victories of fellow Learners along the way.

If you feel comfortable sharing with the rest of the Group, please post a reply to introduce yourself and share:

My name is Harry and I am from West New York, NJ.

Around the time my company had a large layoff due to Covid, I read about the Talent Builder program. It was perfect timing to stay active on the Anaplan platform and complete training certifications. I am currently on sprint 3 of my level 2 model builder certification.

I attended CPX in 2019 and have remained engaged with Anaplan through in-person user groups (before Covid) and virtual meetings.

As I look for my next career opportunity, I am finding that companies recruiting for Anaplan roles will specifically ask for level 1, level 2 and/or Master Anaplanner certifications.

I am thankful to the Anaplan team for making the Talent Builder program available in these challenging times.

[AaronW]

Welcome, Harry! Thanks for participating in User Groups; I hope you've been able to make it to some of ourvirtual meetupsthis year. Watch for more in 2021!

Sounds like you're already on the hunt, but I wanted to make sure you were aware of ourAvailable Talent board—make sure you're listed, and all the best to you!

Are anaplan certifications free of cost or need to pay some charge?

[AaronW]

There's no cost involved. Once you've completed the necessaryon-demand trainings, you can download your certificate from the Learning Center. Most trainings do require Anaplan access. If you don't have access as an Anaplan partner or customer, you can complete the Certified Model Builder training with theAnaplan Talent Builderprogram.

I hope that helps. Please post any follow-up questions you may have, though. Thanks!

So I'm here because i'd like to:

I'm so exciting to join this programme

Hi, Artem! I love seeing people use their extra "free time" to level up. I hope you find it useful for you and your career!
