I went on a training boot camp (2 weeks intensive, 4 exams) some time ago and achieved the requisite qualifications. Can't remember the provider, somewhere down Oxford way.Bored.Comment

I have heard guantanamo bay do some cheap courses now
Apparently they have plenty of space and new laws mean the courses are not in demand---------------------------------------------------

Thanks for some advice and some humour.
I think I've still got a chip on my shoulder about not staying at university to finish the degree!
Regarding qualifications, I do think large companies will look for Cognos certification for their first cut of CV's, obviously I'm also trying to improve the recommendation side of it, luckily I'm currently in the Finance department of a fairly large Insurer/Pension Provider and they know some people who know people etc.
And as for the young appearance, I'm serious, for years I was patronised by middle aged women trying to mother me right up to late twenties. The forty something year old opposite me calls me lad and I'm mid thirties! Hacks my wife off too who is a year older anyway.
I've looked up Boson, just finding info now.
I've always taught myself in the past but it isn't easy getting hold of Cognos to play with. Or Citrix for that matter.Comment
