Some of the Reviews from my students!!!!

"Sandeep is a great Instructor and the course gives a great beginning to my career on mainframes."

"I have zero experience on Mainframe. This Course starts with basics and provides relevant examples which i can apply straight away in my job. Thanks for creating such a great Course. Looking forward to other Courses from you."

"EI instructor conoce mucho acerca del tema, no es ningún improvisado. La manera de abordar los temas totalmente puntuales. Personalmente soy muy Exquisito con cursos Online y este curso lo considero muy bueno. Sugiero mejorar los subtítulos y mejorar la dicción (si se le entiende pero podría mejorar). Continuare con JCL . Saludos"

Want to begin your career on Mainframe with no previous coding experience and are confused on joining which course on TSO/ISPF to understand from the basics to the advanced level?

You have come to the right place. This is the most complete and in-depth Course on TSO/ISPF considered in UDEMY. If you do not believe me, Please have a look at the Course content carefully and ask a few questions from yourself.

  • Does a real-time expert teach the Course? I have more than 15  years of experience as an Instructor and more than 10 years of experience on Mainframe.I firmly believe that if an Instructor does not have good experience, he/she will flood the course with poor content.

  • Is the Course content clear and Precise? I bet you will not get better Course content than this. Please have a look at all the courses and choose wisely.

  • Will the Course be In-depth? The Course covers In-Depth knowledge of TSO/ISPF. The amount of Knowledge that is covered in this course is great.

  • How is the quality of the Content? In Mainframes, there is a lot of low-quality content which is spread throughout the internet. Be wise in choosing the course which has the best content and is presented in a good way to provide maximum output.

  • The Course assumes no prior knowledge of Mainframes and teaches you from absolute beginners.

The audio needs to be fixed. The background noise is distracting, and the audio volume is not consistent throughout the course. The transitions from topics could be better and edited to be smoother.

Re-Time the Sections. It took me much longer to complete and NOTE that was indicated. There were also noted Sections that had VERY BAD sound quality. If I wasn't interested, I would have lost interest. Loved the Detail though.

Nel corso ci sono informazioni interessanti, ma secondo me non sono strutturate secondo un ordine preciso e logico di apprendimento. Per chi ha già dimestichezza con gli argomenti e vuole ripassare o aggiungere qualche nozione in più al proprio bagaglio culturale va bene, ma per chi parte da zero credo non sia il modo migliore di apprendere.

This intro in every lesson is too loud. One intro at the beginning of this course I think is enough. Sometimes voice is unintelligible.

Course content is good, but the delivery could be improved. Sometime it is very difficult to understand what your are saying because of your accent. Another thing is your keyboard, it is very load. And the last thing is your microphone, it does not sound good.

The information in this course is accurate, relevant, and reasonably well-organized, and the lecturer is quite engaging. The only criticism I have is that, on rare occasion (so far), the sound is distorted to the point that I cannot hear what the lecturer is saying.

My current position requires a basic understanding of IBM mainframe operations, but my prior work experience was with Unisys mainframe. This course helped to fill some gaps in my mainframe knowledge.

Great review for what i used to do for 6 yrs of COBOL coding and development on mainframe systems. Took away half a star just because of renting a mainframe id or using your own you still cant completely copy and get the same results as whats done through some of the training, but just following all the videos and paying close attention anyone can use and absorb this knowledge and it can be made useful in a COBOL developer type role. Excellent work.

Yes the main topics are explained briefly and clearly - its easy to understand. This is a helpful refresher of things I knew some things about but hadn't thought about specifically
