Essentials fr IBM Cgns BI (V10.2) Day(s): 5 Curse Cde: B5270G Overview NOTE: This is an Instructr Led Online curse. Please d nt make any travel arrangements. IBM Cgns Educatin is nw pleased t ffer yu ur curses in an exciting new learning frmat, Instructr-led Online (ILO). Students are ffered a similar experience t live classrm training, with the cnvenience f having it delivered directly t their desktp. Essentials fr IBM Cgns BI (V10.2) is a blended ffering cnsisting f five-days f instructr-led nline training (ILO) and 21 hurs f Web-based, self-paced training. This accelerated ffering is intended fr cre prject team members wishing t acquire a brad understanding f a Business Intelligence platfrm implementatin. During the ILT segments, participants will perfrm hands-n dems and wrkshps that cver fur essential tpic areas: Mdeling, Reprt Authring, Wrkspace Advanced, and Administratin f a BI platfrm. Thrughut the ILT, participants will be guided t mre-in depth training fferings and paths leading t certificatin.
