There seem to be several online trainings: e.g. https://www.interskill.com/course-catalog/COBOL-IBM-COBOL-for-zOS.html
Udemy seems to have classes as well: https://www.udemy.com/course/mainframe-the-complete-cobol-course-from-beginner-to-expert/ Some more links: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/W2e35a50023ef_4b39_a867_04fb9e1d3329/page/Training+-+COBOL+and+Related Using Hercules with z/VM should give you access to (an older version of) COBOL as well. If you become an IBM business partner, you should gain access to zPDT http://dtsc.dfw.ibm.com/adcd/adcd.shtml https://www.ibm.com/partnerworld/systems/z/ibm-z-developer-offerings Best regards Mike -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> Im Auftrag von Mark Regan Gesendet: Monday, April 13, 2020 14:12 An: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Betreff: Getting COBOL training on an actual mainframe My wife has been out of the workforce for several years, she had to take care of her father. She knows COBOL, but it was the MicroFocus version on Wintel systems. She would like to learn how to use COBOL on z/OS, so is there anyone that teaches it where you learn on z/OS. I know that Marist does through their IDCP program, but the next class doesn't start until November. It would be nice if I could get a zPDT and/or ADCD system, but I would probably not qualify to purchase one even though I have the funds to do so. Regards, *Mark T.
