Training is structured around mainframe learning plans, 26 preconfigured ‘road maps’ which provide a clear path for students according to their role and experience. With no setup required, training begins on day one to meet your organisation’s training needs and develop the knowledge of your employees. Learning plans can also be tailored for your workplace’s requirements.

In addition to our extensive training catalogue, the Mainframe Presenter Series enables you to blend our e-learning with classroom and on-the-job training to provide the scope needed to train your entire team in all facets of their complex job roles.

Banks of scenario-based questions accurately and objectively evaluate skills and identify knowledge gaps in your workforce. The data this provides helps candidates prepare for mastery tests and measure their personal development whilst managers can use it for performance appraisals,

candidate evaluation and to inform strategic

decisions in the workplace.
