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.
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 link:
http://courses.cognus.co/courses/introduction-to-milling-tutorial
For higher-level course material, the Cognus Premium Package covers a wide range of topics and is available at the following link:
http://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.
