Having an ACE on your team speeds up implementation and ensures you get the most out of Assette
Assette Certified Expert (ACE) program is available to both internal asset management personnel and technology and business consultants serving the asset management industry.
How it Works
The ACE program trains professional services consultants, developers and marketers on how best to implement and begin using Assette software to streamline their content automation efforts. From initial set-up to connecting data sources and editing and sharing content such as pitchbooks, client presentations, fact sheets and due diligence questionnaires, the training program provides hands-on experience and learning geared towards an individual’s role with the software.
ACE Learning Tracks
There are two tracks in the ACE program:
TRACK 1: Developer Training
The focus of this track is interfacing and surfacing data and arranging data. This track is more technical in nature and requires previous experience with Python, and data management
TRACK 2: End User Training
The focus of this track is your day-to-day usage of the software. It includes authoring templates (using the arranged data), specifying batch delivery, workflow creation, system administration, qualitative data management (narratives, disclosures, etc.). General use of the system including reviewing and approving content, finding and sharing content is also included.
Training Approach and Time Commitment
ACE training is conducted virtually over a 5-6-week period. Each cohort is firm specific allowing customized scheduling for your needs and the opportunity for your team to learn and practice together.
The developer training track will run for about 2-3 weeks with 3 lessons per week on average. There are 8 lessons in total that include 3 classroom and 5 lab training as explained below. User training will last a similar duration at the same pace of learning to cover a total of 9 lessons that include 7 classroom and 2 lab training sessions.
There are two types of training:
Classroom Training
Covers theoretical aspects of the software and processes using Assette’s training environment. These sessions are conducted by a trainer who demonstrates the systems’ capabilities. Typical sessions are 1-2 hours per lesson.
Lab Training
Provides hands-on sessions using a sandbox provisioned for you. In these sessions you will be doing the activities and your trainer will be providing guidance. A typical session will last 2 hours. From a general learning perspective, participants will improve or reinforce their working knowledge of Python and SQL. In addition, data management expertise will be enhanced.
