Mainframe Training Credentials

No independent mainframe training company offers the evolutionary and state-of-the-art mainframe courses and integrated training programs - programming skillsprogramming languages, operating systems, systems software, middleware, and web enablement - expertise that SYS-ED does. Our staff of systems consultants, have been providing a comprehensive range of mainframe training solutions on IBM systems since the 1970’s and MFT and OS/VS1! Our hard earned consultant’s swagger allows us to provide unbiased insights and guidance not readily available in the IBM documentation. And truth be told when there is a tough mainframe training assignment which doesn’t neatly fit into IBM’s marketing and sales strategy: large IT shops, software companies, and international training companies will call on SYS-ED!

Courseware for Teaching
The SYS-ED mainframe courseware library spans the onset of modern data processing and includes examples, training aids, case studies, skeleton programs, and industry-specific exercises. It has been developed by technologist entrepreneurs, consultants out in the field, professional text book authors, and the collective efforts of our staff.
 The courseware is being migrated for utilization in technology enabled training environments

Over the past twenty-five plus years, SYS-ED has developed an international reputation for excellence in providing tailored IT training solutions. Organizations from all over the world - Fortune 1000 corporations, software companies, government municipalities, healthcare providers, and consulting companies have come to rely on SYS-ED.

Technology Driven IT Training
SYS-ED mainframe courses - z/OS, z/VM, VM/VSE, VSAM, CICS, DB2, IMS, and WebSphere MQSeries correspond to IBM's content and standards. We specialize in fast-track legacy programming language courses - COBOL, Assembler Language, PL/1, REXX, and entry level training programs. Befitting a first generation computer training company, SYS-ED is committed to supporting the longstanding mainframe system software, programming languages and utilities which have evolved to operate on multiple platforms: Microsoft Windows, UNIX variants, and web enablement technologies - Java and .NET.
Our longstanding experience as integrators of hybrid systems places us on the leading edge of middleware and web enablement training.

Web-based Training Services
SYS-ED is extending its instructor-led courses to provide web-based presentation of mainframe subject matter. Web-based delivery can be live and interactive with a subject matter expert, self-paced, or podcast. Client organizations are presented with a palette of medium to select from in order to address operational, time compression, and validation assessment requirements. The interrelationships among technology, productivity, and training are complex. The selection of the delivery medium and staffing requires a clear distinction between training and educational consultancy. In the case of the latter, SYS-ED extends the presentation of content to include the analysis and interpretation of the software and the accompanying documentation. We incorporate coding standards into our examples and tailored workshops. This premium service includes ongoing support through our categorized and software specific websites.
