The programming languages course workbooks and training aids that we provide as part of our instructor-led courses are unique in the IT field. They reflect far more than simply the vendor documentation. Our content and diagrams reflect a purposeful examination of the underlying logic, program logic, debugging techniques and performance optimization which have been validated on consulting projects. And in this day and age with inter mixing and hybrid implementations of open standards and vendor systems software, reference material which “explains and demonstrate” is fundamental to effective knowledge transfer.

Technology Driven IT Training

Learning Paths

Over the past year, we have had a number of inquiries regarding whether SYS-ED still offered COBOL courses for IT professionals.

In response to these questions:
	Yes, SYS-ED offers multiple levels of legacy programming languages - basic, advanced, debugging, and tailored modules.	State of the Market
	Yes, since 1980, SYS-ED has taught mainframe  programming languages and offered integrated training programs.
	Yes, we have the flexibility and resources to conduct programming languages courses with small class sizes.

Courseware for Teaching

SYS-ED's long-term strategy is to have our courseware approved and recognized as a NRV: Nationally Recognized Vendor.

Courseware
SYS-ED's mainframe 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 or at Your Office
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 city.
