Is The Training Described Above Video Training?

No, the training described above is on-line training with live instructors. It is not video training such as Cognus. It is much closer to classroom training.

Can You Provide More Information About Cognus Video Training?

Cognus on-line video training is an excellent supplement to our courses. We recommend all GibbsCAM beginner users to take the free course which can be found at the following https://courses.cognus.co/courses/production-milling-turning.

For higher-level course material, the Cognus Premium Package covers a wide range of topics and is available at the following https://courses.cognus.co/courses/cognus-premium-subscription-package. Pricing for the Premium Package has been reduced temporarily from $495 to $295.

We have found that the more complex the material is, the better suited it is to live training. That is the reason we are offering the live online courses using Discord.
