Why we created the Cognopia Academy
About us
Cognopia was founded in 2016 to help companies win with data. We started with a focus on technology, but rapidly realised that the main obstacles holding our customers back were their People and Processes. The data people wanted to deliver excellence, but lacked guidance on how to get this right.
Save time
Every day we see that data people are overwhelmed. They're being bombarded with requests for reports, to help on projects and to keep giving more analytics. But they also know the company data needs to be improved to really add value. Unfortunately, many great data people have to waste even more time wading through Google just to learn where and how to start.
Steep learning curve
We know how hard it is to gain skills in data and data management. The basic concepts are easy enough, but being able to apply those concepts in the context of your firm is tricky. Too many courses are theoretical guff, or overly technical. To truly understand the concepts you need practical, simple and direct advice that you can actually apply in the real-world. We help you avoid the worry that your work won't have impact.
Right, first time
What's worse than no training? Getting bad training. We want you to get it right, first time. We have taken what we know and packaged it into bite-sized learning nuggets that can be immediately put into practice. Don't waste another minute scouring the internet for clues. We teach you practical skills that will wow your business peers.
Leave frustration behind
We hate boring, monotonous and confusing courses. We have all been frustrated by training that sends you to sleep. Our courses are designed to entertain as much as to teach. We believe that learning must be fun. Courses have to be quick, to the point, and easy to follow.
Keep it real
We believe that practical, real world examples are essential to understanding. If we want to put a price on the value of data, we try to do it with a company you're familiar with. We take real-world scenarios and walk through them so you understand each and every step.
Value for money
Most of the people we talk to could not afford high-quality training. Their firms would not pay for these essential skills. Enterprise-grade education is out of the reach of the masses. We believe in democratising knowledge. We want to train as many people as possible to ensure data gets the attention it deserves. Our subscription model delivers on that promise.
Get certified
You need to be rewarded for your ongoing education. We provide certification paths for those that have excelled in our courses. Demonstrate that you've got the skills to succeed so you can get your next job. The average salary for those with data governance skills is a whopping $199,336 per year!
Engage your business peers
Every day we talk to data people that struggle to engage and excite their business peers. Data teams get frustrated that their business peers don't "get it". Our courses will teach you how to change this. We'll equip you with the skills to make your life easier. Learn what business hot buttons you can press to get funding today.
Ask the instructor
Even with the best training, there's always more questions. We run frequent webinars to answer your burning questions. If you want content to solve a specific challenge, we'll make it. When you subscribe to the Cognopia Academy you invest in continuous education. Let us get the answers whilst you sit back and enjoy the results.
