Watson & Walker Education for IBM Mainframe Systems

Welcome

Cheryl Watson and Frank Kyne, both successful and popular teachers, are teaming up at Watson & Walker to provide a new set of classes for our z/OS customers. Before deciding on a course schedule, we'd like your feedback as to which classes would be most valuable, either at a public class or one specifically for your company.

We are not asking for a commitment of course, but just your opinion. This shouldn't take more than ten minutes of your time. Thanks for helping us help you!
