SYS-ED's mainframe training programs utilize the full complement of training medium - traditional, web-based, and technology driven classrooms. The client organization selects the component courses, examples, sample programs, and integrated exercises. Educational consultancy topics, inclusive of project specifications can also

The assumption is that the selection of the course modules will be based upon the background and experience of the IT staff to be trained. Most clients elect to consolidate and streamline the content and duration of a mainframe entry level training to 30 days. In order to accommodate employee workloads and staff in remote geographic locations, component courses can be scheduled over non consecutive weeks utilizing a combination of classroom training and distance-learning.

The assumption is that the DB2 UDB courses will be taught for the z/OS mainframe environment. However, the content and examples can be modified for utilization with Linux, UNIX, or MS Windows. This program is managed by Jonathan Clarke based in the United Kingdom.

At the client's discretion, validation assessment and a final examination can be utilized.
