Mainframe eLearning
This is the world’s ONLY curriculum of mainframe eLearning! Spanning over 250 mainframe course titles, our current, comprehensive and highly interactive training delivers optimum skills and knowledge transfer. It not only focuses on the technical aspects of the subject matter, but on the learning itself, and on utilizing eLearning technologies to facilitate advanced learning outcomes.
Mainframe Skills Assessment
Extensive banks of scenario based questions enable accurate evaluation of a work force’s strengths and weaknesses, providing objective, measurable data showing skill levels achieved and retained per curriculum. This data can be used to identify knowledge gaps and strengths of individuals or teams, conduct objective performance appraisals, evaluate candidates in the hiring process and take more informed strategic decisions in the workplace. By referring to benchmarks, learning effectiveness can be measured to calculate ROI.

e-learning courseware. It not only focuses on the technical aspects

Our learning designs are guided by contemporary learning theory
and are interactive, contextualized and responsive to diverse
learning styles. We immerse learners in relevant, authentic
activities that motivate, engage and produce quantifiable change.
As well as simulations throughout the courses, we offer a

procedures. All courses are kept up to current version, so junior
and senior people alike will benefit by keeping up with the latest
releases of core software.
