When IT professionals leave a SYS-ED VSAM course, they have the documentation, skeleton programs, training aids, and supervised hands-on experience to efficiently code and maintain programs back on the job. Case and point, our longstanding clients will provide us with listcats (We encourage them to do so!) from their production systems prior to attending a class. We analyze and interpret the listcats and teach the concepts and techniques required to make VSAM performance optimization a reality.  A value added component to a SYS-ED VSAM course is the educational consultancy we provide on VSAM and interrelated IBM mainframe system software.

Mainframe Educational Consultancy

Moreover, if your organization outsourced the optimization and maintenance of its VSAM coding to consulting companies in the 1980’s, it more than likely was SYS-ED which trained many of the consultants who did the actual work. Due to popular demand several of our mainframe courses have been migrated for presentation in a distance and e-learning format.

The VSAM course workbooks and training aids that we provide as part of our instructor-led courses are unique in the IT field. Our content and diagrams reflect a purposeful examination of program logic, access methods services, and sample programs which have been validated on consulting projects. SYS-ED's VSAM courseware is maintained and updated as part of teaching a course: FAQ's frequently asked questions, technology updates, and CETi knowledge base. And with the scarcity of up to date VSAM text books, our courseware is also invaluable as a reference manual. In our opinion reference information which “explains and demonstrates” is fundamental to effective knowledge transfer.

Technology Driven IT Training

IT Consultancy - First Generation Experience

Over the past year, we have had a number of inquiries regarding whether SYS-ED still offered VSAM training for IT professionals.

In response to these questions: Yes, SYS-ED offers multiple levels of VSAM training: z/OS and z/VSE. Yes, since 1980, SYS-ED has taught standalone VSAM courses and as part of mainframe training programs. We have the flexibility and resources to conduct personalized training upon request. VSAM courses are available in multiple formats: classroom, distance-learning and blended web-based delivery. Upon completion of a SYS-ED course, our staff is available to answer VSAM questions.

Technology Driven IT Training

• Review the VSAM learning paths.
• Read the technology assessments and CFAQs - course frequently asked questions.
• Examine the content in our VSAM courseware and training aids.
• Utilize our VSAM skillset assessments.
• Interview our systems consultant/instructor.

SYS-ED has been conducting courses in the public domain since 1980; however, there have been changes in the laws and regulations governing computer training in the state of New York. The schedule on our websites reflects a projected time frame for licensure with the New York State Department of Education - Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision and submission and approval of curriculum. It will be updated quarterly.

VSAM Training in New York

VSAM Courses in New York
SYS-ED's VSAM courses are tough, but they're worth it. Our challenging "hands-on" VSAM training provides a foundation and framework for Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, healthcare providers, software houses, and consulting companies to meet their VSAM staffing requirements and acquire specialized VSAM skillsets.¹

Courseware
SYS-ED's VSAM courseware is highly respected in the IT field. We draw upon our extensive library of sample programs, case studies, and exercises to explain, demonstrate, and teach real-world VSAM. Our VSAM curricula include industry standard and consultancy derived content. We have the capability to provide tailored workshops and integrated mainframe training programs inclusive of third party emulation 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 VSAM training for 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 with VSAM 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 VSAM 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 background corresponding to the appropriate learning path.

VSAM Training in New York, at Your Office, or via the Web
SYS-ED's VSAM courses are held at our modern training center in Manhattan and in conjunction with technology 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.
