Training & Personal Development at Cognizant

There was a lot of online learning when I joined, but now I think they have moved to in person training with the newer grads

Formal training was a shamble. Informal training by my mentor/manager was great.

Cognizant provided us with incredible and ongoing training opportunities. In our first few months we flew to Melbourne for 2 weeks of "soft-skills" training, which included presentation, communication, conflict resolution and influence skills. After that we flew to India for a two month cutting edge technology training school. We received in-depth practical and theoretical classes in a number of technologies, tools and techniques related to our business units. We also received a 6-week training school delivered by our mentor - a young professional who is working at the forefront of our field.

Very good experience

The training of business etiquette in Australia is the best. The training curriculum is well-organized and the trainer is passionate and knowledgeable. Furthermore, the experience in India is just mind-blowing, it will be my one of most unforgettable experience for a quite long time.

Being sent to India for a month of training was a very mind opening and enjoyable experience. Provided the opportunity to learn Indian culture which is a big part of Cognizant's operations. Learned multiple coding languages in a classroom context.

Learnt how to program in Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS. Picked up skills on how to use the Selenium test automation tool.

I picked up skills in programming and analytics and learnt about many amazing technologies. Time spent in between projects is spent doing self-learning on online courses and YouTube.

They have a large e-learning variety, opportunities to become certified in software services you learn to use and provide basic professional communication and presentation training.

There are two training programs I've been in. One where the graduates spent two weeks learning soft skills through a professional trainer. It's a lot more interesting than it sounds. The second was a month trip to India to learn about testing. Both were worthwhile experiences
