Will I have job readiness skills with this course?

Every client that uses IBM Z hardware and software is unique. This course specifically focuses on z/OS skills with fundamental knowledge needed to be a system administrator and programmer. This course provides hireable skills, but expect to take additional education in either the form of classroom, online, or through job mentorship to get the skills needed specific to the job you're applying for.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Certificate?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
