Get Prepared
Congrats on taking the first steps towards your education goals. Have you received your approval email from Guild? If not, don’t worry, you should receive an email within 7 to 10 business days of submitting your Guild application.
If you have received your approval email, double congratulations! Here are your next steps to completing your Ancora Training application:
1 — Confirm your spot
Once your Guild application is approved, you'll need to confirm your spot in Ancora Trainings's program for the next start date.
Log in to your Guild account and visit your Applications page to confirm your spot, then Ancora Training will reach out to you with next steps.
Be sure to confirm your spot by the 29th day of the month before your start date, or February 27, if the start date is in March, or you will have to start in a later term. For example, if your enrollment month is January, you must confirm your enrollment by December 29th.
If you don't confirm your spot by the 29th day, your start date will automatically update to the next start date available (up to 90 days out). You should be able to view your new start date and confirm your spot for the new start date within your Guild portal. If you don't confirm your spot for the updated start date, you will need to re-apply.
2 — Make sure you’re eligible
Check to make sure you're eligible for your company's education benefit, right up to the first day of classes. Sign into your Guild account, then check your eligibility status in the upper right-hand corner. If you don't see your eligibility status or have questions, contact Guild support for more information.
If you have previous education outside of the U.S. (i.e., foreign credentials), there aren't extra requirements to complete at Ancora.
3 — Check your email
About 1-2 weeks before your start date, you will receive an email or call/text from Ancora Training with next steps. This message will include everything you need to know about enrolling in your program.
4 — Connect with your Ancora Training advisor
Once you have enrolled, you can start working with your Ancora Training advisor. Your advisor can help you prepare for courses, gather course materials, review resources, and develop a long-term academic plan.
5 — Start classes
Mark the first day of class on your calendar so you don't forget the big day. Keep in mind that you must attend your first day of class to continue in the program.
6 — Chat with your Guild Growth Coach
After you've started your courses, you'll have a chance to talk with your Guild Growth Coach. You can discuss your education and career goals and develop a plan to complete your program.
7 - Timeline for Funding
