Overview
This IBM Web-Based Training (WBT) is Self-Paced and includes:
- Instructional content available online for duration of course
- Visuals without hands-on lab exercises
This training teaches data modelers how to model data using data modules in IBM Cognos Analytics. Users will learn how to create data modules from different sources, such as uploaded files. They will also identify how to customize their data modules by adding joins, calculations, and filters. In addition, they will examine how to group their data (for example, by using navigation paths), how to share their data modules with others, and how to make use of some advanced modeling techniques, such as relative date analysis.
If you are enrolling in a Self Paced Virtual Classroom or Web Based Training course, before you enroll, please review the Self-Paced Virtual Classes and Web-Based Training Classes on our Terms and Conditions page, as well as the system requirements, to ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for this course. /terms

Reviews
The training was great . But i expected some of the Networking concepts would be covered in this certification .
Overall it was a good bootcamp. A lot to cover so it is understandable that the pace had to be a little fast.
Instructor, Training material & span of the training is neatly planned.
ExitCertified was a great. They gave me all the materials and information I needed ahead of time to prepare for the course.
ExitCertified provided us with a great opportunity to learn more about React and in easy to follow way.
