SYS-ED: Mainframe Training Experts

Since 1980, SYS-ED has been a leader in providing tailored mainframe training programs and tailored mainframe courses to Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, healthcare providers, and consulting firms. Our staff of system consultants averages over 30 years experience in the IBM mainframe environment and collective expertise spans the onset of the modern era of data processing (which is now known as IT: information technology)! No independent training company has been providing entry level training programs longer or doing it better than SYS-ED. Our unique skillset and hard earned consultant’s swagger was developed as part of first generation coding and debugging with procedural languages - Assembler, COBOL, PL/1, FORTRAN, and RPG - utilized with IBM’s mainstay system software - IMS, VSAM, CICS, DB2 - and third-party system software - Datacom DB, IDMS, and ADABAS. Our courseware and training aids were developed as a by product of hands-on project work and have been updated to include WebSphere MQ middleware and web enablement technologies. It provides us with a privileged perspective from which to conduct mainframe training programs. And truth be told, IBM and major software companies have called on us to train their software developers and system engineers, and clients for hybrid multi-vendor mix and match training requirements.

SYS-ED offers tailored "entry-level" and "fast-track" mainframe training programs.

	Standard entry-level training programs consist of four components: z/OS operating system, programming skills, programming language, and system software. These programs have been developed and refined over a quarter century of consultancy and teaching and draw upon the SYS-ED courseware library.
	Tailored fast-track programs are comprised of course modules selected by the client organization: topics, examples, workshops, validation assessments, and duration. Many clients also elect to incorporate an educational consulting component which reflects their standards and implementation strategy for project development.
