Very informative. VM was a little difficult at first because I've never worked on z/OS mainframe. Lab instructions could have been a little more detailed for beginners.

The course is very good. However, it would be nice to have the ability to contact someone if the Lab portion is not successful.

The course may not offer an audit option. 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.
