It Takes a Tough CICS Course to
Make a Smart Programmer!

After the class is over, students receive ongoing support and access to our on-line training aids. Class size is limited for CICS application programming courses so applications are accepted on a first-come first-serve basis. Classes are held regularly at SYS-ED's fully equipped classroom/computer facilities in New York City and major cities in North America and Europe. Customized course offerings are available for on-site sessions at your location.

CICS Training in New York

Real Hands-on Training
SYS-ED's CICS training courses are tough, but they're worth it. Our challenging "hands-on" training immediately increases CICS application programming productivity by 50% or more for both business professionals new to mainframe programming and experienced mainframe programmers. We draw upon our extensive library of sample programs and case studies to explain, demonstrate, and implement real-world applications. This will translate into productivity enhancements which will be needed in order to implement business systems.

Wrote the Book
SYS-ED's IBM mainframe training course manuals are the best in the industry. They are comprehensive guides and programming models written especially for each course by our experienced instructors. They are thorough, clear, and well organized, and serve as desktop references long after the course. Our manuals are constantly updated to include new versions and more efficient programming methods. SYS-ED students also have access to our on-line reference books, sample programs, and training aids via the Internet.

Teaching is Our Only Business
Most computer training companies are divisions of large software companies or consulting companies. Not SYS-ED. Our only goal is to provide top-quality computer training for highly motivated professionals-no more and no less. Because we're independent, we're free to concentrate on teaching--and we do it very well.

All Our Teachers are Teachers
All SYS-ED instructors combine teaching skills with broad practical experience as consultants. Our instructors average 30 years of experience in the IBM mainframe environment – operating systems, programming languages, 3rd party utilities/ development aids, and system software. And they know how to teach it. We teach not only "how to", but "why", building a solid foundation in fundamentals and insights into advanced materials. When they're not in the classroom, they're busy writing or updating course manuals, developing training aids, improving techniques, even developing new courses. And they're available to students after the course for additional advice or support.

Our Place or Yours?
SYS-ED's courses are held at our modern, fully equipped training center in New York City, and major cities in North America and Europe. If you prefer, we'll arrange on-site courses at your own computer installation, inclusive of mobile computer classroom set-up. On-site courses can include the same workshops, and case studies and hands-on approach as our restricted enrollment courses. Or can be customized to your particular application or project. In addition to CICS, SYS-ED’s 150 OS/390 and z/OS courses include operating systems and systems programming – (z/OS, z/VM, z/VSE), 15 programming languages (COBOL, C, Assembler, FORTRAN, PL/1, Java, etc.), telecommunications (SNA, VTAM, Netview), systems software (DB2, CICS, IMS, CSP, and MQSeries), and web enablement (DB2, CICS and WebSphere).
