Academies built for individuals and corporations alike.
Unlike our corporate training programs, the Ascent Academy opens its doors to both individuals and corporations. Multi-week, cohort-based curriculums in sales, leadership and customer service — with a formal Certificate of Completion at the end. Browse the academies below, see the tiers, and join.
See how Ascent turns training into performance.
Sales, leadership and customer service — one blended methodology, six delivery modes, reinforced until behaviour actually sticks.
The Academy is different from our regular training programs.
Our corporate training programs are designed around organisations — sales teams, leadership cohorts, customer-service desks. The Academy is the door we hold open for everyone else too: the individual professional who wants to invest in their own career, the new manager whose company hasn't booked training yet, the consultant who needs the methodology in their own toolkit.
- Individuals welcome. Self-enroll, work through the curriculum at your own pace, earn the certificate.
- Corporations welcome. Deploy a team-wide academy cohort across all three tiers — Foundations, Core, Pro.
- Same methodology either way. Tim Carlisle's 15+ years of work — taught the same way for the solo learner and the 200-person rollout.
- Easy to join. One form, one reply within a business day — no buried links, no enterprise-only gates.
The Academy works the same way — whoever you are.
Whether you're enrolling yourself or rolling out a cohort for 200 people, the Academy meets you where you are.
For individuals Open enrollment
Self-enroll directly — no employer sponsorship required. Many learners use an employer upskilling budget; many pay for themselves and use the certificate to step into the next role.
- Self-paced through the Ascent Online Learning Platform
- Live cohort sessions plus a downloadable PDF library
- Begin at Foundations, stop or extend at Core or Pro on your timeline
- Formal Certificate of Completion by academy and tier
For corporations Cohort deploy
Run a deep, named cohort — emerging professionals on Foundations, midlevel talent on Core, senior leaders on Pro — all in the same rollout, with shared language and one playbook.
- Team-wide rollout across all three tiers simultaneously
- High-potential tracks — develop emerging leaders before they step up
- Sector-tuned case studies and role-plays
- Reporting, certification and 8-week reinforcement built in
Three academies. Pick yours.
Each academy runs as a multi-week, cohort-based program with three deliberate tiers — Foundations, Core and Pro — so the curriculum meets the learner at the level they actually work at.
Ascent Sales Academy
The flagship academy — the full Ascent sales methodology delivered as a multi-week cohort. B2B selling, sales management, coaching, negotiation, and ramp — all in one curriculum.

Leadership Academy (10-Week)
A 10-week cohort that builds the operating system for modern leaders — team performance, EQ, cultural intelligence and the PERFORM framework Tim wrote his book on.

Customer Service Academy
A multi-tier academy for service teams and CX leaders — the loyalty-compounding playbook for the moments that matter, with reinforcement that sticks.

The Academy is engineered so neither an individual learner nor a corporate L&D buyer is more than a few clicks from joining.

Tell us how you're joining
One form. Solo learner or corporate cohort — same form, same one-business-day reply.
We tier you in
A short call places you (or your cohort) on Foundations, Core or Pro — whichever fits where you actually work.
Cohort + reinforcement + certificate
The live cohort runs, the 8-week reinforcement follows, and you walk away with a formal Certificate of Completion.
Built to reinforce — not just to deliver.
The Academy is engineered the same way every Ascent program is: across four delivery modes, with the certificate, the platform and the book.
Certificate of Completion
A formal certificate by academy and tier — named differentiator vs. providers who don't certify.
Online Learning Platform
24/7 access to structured modules, microlessons and guided pathways — global, anytime.
Downloadable PDF library
Worksheets, frameworks and playbooks the learner keeps long after the cohort ends.
AI-powered video assessment
Record a response, get immediate AI feedback — the practice loop most academies can't offer.
8-week reinforcement
Weekly videos and check-ins after the cohort ends — so classroom knowledge becomes observable behaviour.
A complimentary Tim Carlisle book
A copy of The Inner Game of Performance or PERFORM Leadership — the mindset foundation the academies build on.
