I was approached by a client to take over the Cognos reporting responsibilities from a consulting company who was not performing. While my background was in various ERP and BI systems, I had never used Cognos, even as a consumer, and it was completely foreign to me. After searching online for assistance, I came across the Coglitics training, and was able to get a basic grasp of the software in just a few hours. You can schedule your learning around your commitments, and that degree of flexibility is a fantastic benefit. The training is far better than any other corporate ERP/BI OEM training I have ever attended. The curriculum is logical, well thought out, and covers every aspect of Cognos. The instructor clearly has been a consumer of the data as well as creator of the business intelligence. This is not typically the case with corporate training instructors. Additionally, several methods are introduced that will allow you to quickly capitalize on reports and dashboards, that once created, can be slightly modified for different uses expeditiously. This is a strong added value to your clients. The end result was that in under a month from purchasing the Coglitics training I was able to stand up dozens of dashboards and reports, including scheduled reports, prompt pages, tabbed reports, and reports with complex queries. All to the great satisfaction of my client. I would strongly recommend Coglitics training to beginners and experts alike. All aspects of the system are covered in detail, in such a way that it makes it exceptionally easy to remember and understand, and at a fantastic value.

Kwame is the ultimate expert in Cognos. Not only does he know the tool inside and out, his class makes it extremely easy to learn the tool. I spent a couple of weeks stumbling through another Cognos class I purchased, finally gave up on it and resorted to YouTube learning. On YouTube I stumbled on one of Coglitics’ videos, and boy am I happy I did. Watching that video and following along immediately made the interface familiar and easy to navigate. I became confident and excited to become an expert myself in Cognos. I watched Coglitics’ free lessons, once done I didn’t think twice about signing up for the full version. The class is comprehensive and methodical, and lessons are well planned out and easy to follow along. After each lesson you feel accomplished and closer to becoming an expert. Kwame was super responsive and helpful when I encountered snags. He is deeply invested in his student’s success, and will go above and beyond to see them excel and get the most out of the class and their career as a Cognos developer. His positive energy and upbeat personality makes it even easier to get through the class. Highly, highly recommend Kwame and Coglitics for all things Cognos!

The material is really amazing!

Thank you so much at Kwame, the Cognos Jedi. I was finally able to start the course and to be honest. I was a bit scared to start something new that I did not know so much about. The way you were able to explain things at the beginning of the module has given me the confidence to tackle the entire course. I can't wait to continue with the second module after I get back from work.
