If you’re shop is utilizing a combination of mainframe utilities and development tools from the Big 3: Computer Associates, Compuware, and IBM, then integrated workshops and examples will also make the training more effective. Your IT personnel will learn not simply how to perform tasks, but will receive a foundation in the underlying structure of IBM mainframe systems software. Additional tailored workshops are available 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 Endevor 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.

Courseware for Teaching
SYS-ED's mainframe utilities and development courseware is highly respected 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.
