Regarding Certification

[jyothi_ph]

Hai



I am new to Cognos and I would like to know abt the certification exams,I had visited the web site www.cognos.com and I would like to take the BI Author Test first. Which all ReportNet Pdf files have to be mastered for this exam? ( I did not have any professional training for the same but have a few months experience in Impromptu, Power Play and ReportNet)
How are the questions distributed ?
Would Cognos let you take these exam without taking their TrainingCourses?
Or do you have to take their prerequest courses before being eligible to take the test?

Thanks

As far i know, if u have an access to the partner network of cognos then u can take the exam without the training courses. I don't know for non-partners access. U can check with the sqlstar which is the only authorized training partner of cognos in India.

You don't need to take any courses in order to take the exam. But your company must be current Cognos customer (which means the support contract is valid). All Cognos exams are done through the Internet and they are all multiple choice questions. I think you can have 3 attempts for each exam.

I am not sure about BI Author cert, but most Cognos Certificates require you to pass multiple exams before they give you the certificate.

I think it is OK to talk about what areas the exams focus on but not about the actual questions and answers. This forum should not be the place for that.  Do yourself a favor. Learn from these posts and I am sure, passing the exams will not be difficult at all.
