Description
This is a basic orientation course for anyone who is new to the channel, has experience in some areas, but little in others or wants a refresher course. To complete the orientation course, you must pass the final exam (so take notes and learn your material). This should take about 4-6 hours to complete.
Note: It is not like the main certification courses since it will guide you through the Chanimal website for content (plus it includes several of the kits) instead of using videos to present all the content. It has a few videos—but they are not as detailed or as entertaining… but, it is still powerful content and will help you find what you need later.
Below is a list of lessons within the course
- Channel Overview
- Channel Marketing
- Channel Sales
- Sample Portal
- Your own Portal
- Channel Kit
- Final Exam
P.S. You are also welcome to take the Free Trial Course if you want to see the content and what the format of what the actual certification course covers. Plus, it includes four (4) lessons from the actual 31-lesson course.
Great overview of site and materials.

Sr. Partner Account Manager
Just completed the free Channel Orientation course from Chanimal since this was an area I knew very little about. This is likely the most information dense course I’ve taken in awhile (and as most of y’all know, I take a LOT of courses). Now I know my VARs from my NFRs and MDFs at least, but there’s sooo much information, I’m definitely going to have to revisit this.
Best thing about it is that it is what it says it is – a quality introduction suitable for new channel managers or basically anyone wanting to know more about the domain. Well, all the included downloads are pretty dang cool, too. Kind of makes me want to set up a mock partner program portal just for the fun.
Definitely adding Chanimal University to my shortlist to take another course once I can budget for it. Thanks to Ted Finch for putting it all together, and Jay McBain for recommending them!

It was a great way to learn the fundamentals of channel sales – even if you don’t have a sales background.
It is easy to understand and navigate through the lessons! The quizzes are a fun touch too!
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn channel sales or are planning to become a channel manager. Thanks Chanimal!
