Hi Rodolfo and Andre
It seems that the response that I penned yesterday, to Rodolfo, did not make it to the forum.
I am not part of that team so I do not have any insight as to what is available at the moment seeing that Jonathan Sayles has retired.
Here are some IBM links for COBOL training that might be of use/interest to you.
https://developer.ibm.com/series/open-mainframe-project-cobol-programming-course-webinar-series/
https://www.ibm.com/training/badge/cobol-programming-with-vscode
https://developer.ibm.com/languages/cobol/
And possibly from Coursera

Is this type of course still available?
Or can we get a recording of that training

Thanks

Hi Daris
IBM Raleigh Development Lab is hosting a 12week entry level z/OS COBOL Curriculum beginning in June.
You can enrole by sending an email to Jonathan Sayles at jsayles@us.ibm.com
An overview is included below with a tentative agenda attached.
A few details:
- This is no-charge remote instructor-led training
- 24 one-hour modules (2 per week) spread out over 12 weeks - delivered via Webex
- The first class will be Tuesday June 9th - at 9:00 AM Eastern
- All sessions will be recorded
- With a one-hour additional session per week called "Office Hours" - where users can get 1X1 help with the labs
- This is not an introduction - nor is it high-level. My intent is to prepare attendees to compete for COBOL jobs
- Anyone can participate in the classes (there are no pre-reqs)
- But there are hands-on workshops associated with all of the modules - and if one of your customer's users want access to zserveros she/he must register:
- I'll need name and eMail of attendee
- I have a fixed numbers TSO IDs that I can use - registration will be first-come/first-served
- However, if your customers are interested in hosting the hands-on portion of class on their mainframe system
- I'll send the files with setup instructions
- And customers will be responsible for TSO ID admin, etc.

Hi Daris, take a look here from the Open Mainframe Project... https://www.openmainframeproject.org/blog/2020/04/09/open-mainframe-project-helps-fill-the-need-for-cobol-resources
Best of luck and yes, they are absolutely needed. Keep learning!!

Hello!
I am new to these forums and need help with some questions. I'm a government employee with the IRS and I'm interested in learning COBOL to apply for a job. These jobs are still available and NEEDED so I would like to try and qualify. Where do you need to start on this site to get the skills? Thanks,
Daris L. Cotton
