About the Course
Explore the future of COBOL development with GOD's groundbreaking COBOL Developer Bootcamp! We're not your typical learning experience – our 4-month program is tailored for those ready to dive deep into the world of COBOL programming and beyond.
Led by industry veterans with extensive experience, you'll master a comprehensive tech stack, including COBOL, PL/1, ISPF, JCL, DB2, DLI, IMS-DC, CICS, MQ, RVS, IMS-DB, and essential debugging tools.
This isn't just about learning languages; it's about hands-on experience with interactive tools like ISPF and mastering database management with DB2 and DLI. Gain a solid foundation in software development practices specific to COBOL, covering version control, coding standards, and documentation.
Upon completion, you won't just be equipped with COBOL expertise – you'll be ready to thrive in the dynamic landscape of mainframe development.
We offer two separate groups: one for English speakers and another for German speakers, ensuring that language is no barrier to your learning experience.
We are excited to announce our cooperation with the University of Leipzig. This collaboration offers participants the opportunity to pass an exam and obtain a certificate from the university, adding significant value to your professional qualifications.
Elevate your career in the world of COBOL – join us and rewrite your future in code!
