ASCI and ASCI's collaboration partner, Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), have partnered with Anaplan to bring Anaplan's Elevate Program (previously University Connect Program)

This is a free eight week program that ASCI Members can choose to do on their own, or, meet up with ASCI and CIMA peers at beginning of the week where key concepts from the assigned units are introduced, then another optional office hours session at end of the week. Touch points keep learners engaged and moving through the certification content.

The program is available to all individuals wishing to upskill to become Anaplan model builders, make a career change, upskill or be used for advanced standing with (some) tertiary institutions. 

Anaplan Essentials (Pre-learning prior to eight week program) is recommended for learners completely new to Anaplan, model building and planning. The online course introduces connected planning, who Anaplan is, the Anaplan platform and a light exercise on model use / modification.  Learners complete this optional course independently prior to cohort start date. 6-8 hours
