Cognos 8 BI Certification

Cognos 8 BI has two levels of certification, role based and professional.

 

Role Based Certifications

An individual certified in the role based level of Cognos 8 BI can be expected to be an effective team member on a Cognos 8 BI implementation project.

To prepare for the exams, we recommend you review the Certification Study Guide and take the courses (where applicable).

 

Notes:

• The certification exams focus on concepts and knowledge that is applicable, as much as possible, across Cognos 8. Exam content is not specific to a product point release. When you become certified on a Cognos 8 role, there is no need to recertify when the exams are updated – you are considered certified for Cognos 8.
  
• The Certification Study Guides will list learning materials for the latest version of the product (e.g. 8.3), but earlier versions of courses (e.g. 8.1) will also support certification.
• If you have questions about the new certifications, check the FAQ.
