Dear,

As a beginner, you can learn MVS, COBOL, ISPF, JCL, CICS, DB2 Languages and then continue with REXX, PL/I, IMS or IDMS, FILEAID, XPEDITOR etc..

Try to learn yourself by downloading the free materials available in our site.

Dear Worthy,

Visit www.mainframesindia.com for more info.

I also suggest you to try the Hercules based free mainframe Simulator to work from home.
