The person at Cognos to question about this (in the USA at least) is David
Achtemichuk ( dave.achtemichuk@cognos.com
<mailto:dave.achtemichuk@cognos.com> ). He has been sending out/promoting
Cognos certification to partners.
I asked him about PowerHouse. He said that Cognos considered the product
developers to be such a maturity there was no need so certification. I was
so disgusted with the answer I deleted his response immediately (a bit of a
short fuse have I.)
<rant>
Besides, Cognos certification these days is only a tool to force people into
buying Cognos training. When I got my Impromptu certification 4 years ago
all I had to do was pass the exam. Now Cognos will not let you sit the exam
unless you have attended particular training courses (theirs). It doesn't
matter how many years experience you have, alternative training sources or
your innate abilities. It's just another money making scheme so therefore
the certification is meaningless!
