Actively coached self-study mainframe
Our coaches and trainers are available to help you and your employees acquire knowledge related to z/OS based application development during an actively coached self-study week!
- Self study, because 'participant-led'; the participant determines the over-all pace, content, and importance of the treated topics, using specifically built course material and labs;
- Coached self-study, because 'instructor-monitored' as well as 'participant led'. This specifically means:
- that the instructor/coach actively monitors participant progress based on voluntary and required feedback-moments;
- that the instructor/coach is permanently at the disposal of the participant, to guide him with questions and problems;
- that the instructor/coach is permanently present in order to optimize knowledge transfer (motivate, stimulate and evaluate participants);
- that the instructor/coach expects, and will stimulate, active participant participation and feedback.
- Self-study: not individual, but in group. Different participants will be working independently on distinct topics. The group as a whole stimulates and motivates each other; reference stories can be exchanged.
