Application Development -
The Smart and Efficient Way!

 
Since 1980, SYS-ED has been helping organizations meet their training and staffing requirements with InterTest (It was owned by Online Software International back then) and CICS Transaction Server mainframe system software. Few independent training companies offer the range and multiple levels of specialized and interrelated mainframe programmer productivity tools and development utilities courses that we do.

Our staff of system consultants are experts on InterTest and the Computer Associates family of products. We have 30 years experience in coding, debugging, and providing maintenance support on IBM mainframe systems with  CICS TS with legacy programming languages. This been there done that experience provides us with the privileged perspective from which to teach the industry standard InterTest facilities and provide invaluable performance and troubleshooting guidelines. We refer it to as educational consultancy.

If you’re shop is utilizing a combination of mainframe utilities and development tools from the Big 3: Computer Associates, Compuware, and IBM, then SYS-ED's integrated workshops and examples will be make a major difference in  training your next generation of mainframe programmers. They will learn not just how to perform specific File-AID tasks; but will receive a foundation in the underlying mainframe system software. Additional tailored workshops can be selected from the SYS-ED courseware library.

SYS-ED does not sell software; we only teach!  And towards this end, we apply the full complement of training medium to help IT professionals learn. In our courses, students learn by doing; one-third of their class time will be spent hands-on with File-AID on our z/OS system. Each student receives a comprehensive student hand-out and tailored training aid. SYS-ED has a library of sample programs and workshops developed in conjunction with its consultancy assignments and which are designed to address specific operational objectives. It is a standard SYS-ED policy to allow the client to select the workshop to be used and tailor it to the client's systems software environment - CICS, DB2, and IMS. After a course is over, students are welcome to ask the inevitable questions which come up back on the job.

Yes, We Still Offer Mainframe Training!

We have had a number of inquiries regarding whether SYS-ED still offered mainframe utilities and development tools courses for mainframe programmers.

The typical comments were:
1. That it is extremely difficult, if not impossible to find open enrollment utilities and development tools courses for mainframe programmers.
2. That there is a scarcity of intensive 2 and 3- day courses which provide the hands-on experience and skillset for dataset management on z/OS, z/VSE, and z/VM systems.
3. That a high percentage of open enrollment InterTest courses are cancelled.
In response we say:
InterTest Training Services Yes, SYS-ED offers multiple levels of InterTest courses and utility and development tools courses for the IBM mainframe environment: CA-InterTest, DYL-280, Endevor, File-AID, Abend-AID, Xpediter, and Syncsort.

Mainframe Training in New York

Mainframe Courses in New York
SYS-ED's mainframe courses are tough, but they're worth it. Our challenging "hands-on" mainframe training provides a foundation and framework for Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, healthcare providers, software houses, and consulting companies to meet their mainframe staffing requirements and acquire specialized mainframe skillsets.1   Mainframe utilities and development tools courses at the present time are only offered at client locations.

Courseware
SYS-ED's mainframe utilities and development courseware is highly acclaimed in the IT field.  We draw upon our extensive library of courseware, sample programs, and case studies to explain, demonstrate, and teach the real-world mainframe information technology. Our mainframe curricula include industry standard and consultancy derived content. We have the capability to provide tailored workshops and integrated training programs on z/OS, z/VSE, z/VM, and third party emulation workbench/platforms.

Teaching is Our Business
Most computer training companies are divisions of large software companies or consulting companies. Not SYS-ED. Our only goal is to provide world class mainframe training for highly motivated IT professionals - no more and no less. Because we're independent, we're free to concentrate on teaching - and since 1980 we have been doing it very well.

Our Teachers Know How to Teach
SYS-ED instructors combine teaching skills with broad practical experience as consultants. Our instructors average 30 years of experience in the 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. After a course, they are available to answer questions.

Enrollment - SYS-ED Mainframe Courses are NOT for Everyone
No one is allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED mainframe course, without a consultation with our Director of Education. We review the operational objectives and project specifications for the organization evaluating whether to send its employee for the training. The employee is only allowed to register if they have the appropriate background corresponding to the correct learning path.

Mainframe Training in New York, at Your Office, or via the Web
SYS-ED mainframe courses are held at our modern, fully equipped training center in New York City and in conjunction with training partners in North America and Europe. If you prefer, we'll arrange tailored mainframe training on-site at your organization’s facilities inclusive of mobile computer classroom set-up. On-site mainframe courses can include the identical workshops, case studies, and hands-on approach as the mainframe training we offer in New York.

For additional information including outlines, availability of private courses, references, and course customization, contact David Shapiro at our New York office at 212-564-9147 or register online.
