IBM Mainframe: Client-Site and Boot Camp Training:

Getting the Right Knowledge to the Right People at the Right Time. Anywhere. With Client Site Training, courses can be scheduled on a date that is convenient for you, and because they can be scheduled at your location, you don't incur travel costs and students won't be away from home. An additional advantage is that the class is taught on your equipment, so students are learning in their work environment rather than in a classroom setup. Client Site classes can also be tailored to meet your needs. You might shorten a 10-day class into a 5-day class, or combine portions of several related courses into a single course, or have the instructor vary the emphasis of topics depending on your staff's and site's requirements. We require a minimum of five employees and above.

Who Should Attend:

Prospective IT managers, systems programmers, application developers, system integrators, network administrators
