What began in 1991 as a quest for a better way to train IBM mainframe personnel, has now cumulatively trained over 1 Million mainframers globally, and is now the world’s most awarded, most delivered, most IBM credentialed, IBM Z mainframe training annually.

We are mainframers, and we are proudly part of the global mainframe family! We collaborate closely with IBM and the major mainframe industry vendors to develop the finest training on their products. We train the mainframe workforces of a majority of the world’s mainframe organizations. We give back to the industry, donating our courseware extensively to countless next generation mainframers worldwide.

We understand that as well as you wanting to train and empower your mainframe computing workforce, you also want to do business with friendly, helpful, experienced people!

Know that we are here for you!

Our learning designs are informed by contemporary learning theory and are interactive, contextualized and responsive to diverse learning styles. We believe in immersing learners in relevant authentic activities designed to motivate, engage, and produce quantifiable change.

Giving Back to the Community

Supporting University Students

At Interskill Learning, we believe in empowering the next generation of mainframe professionals, which is why we donate our comprehensive mainframe training program to university students around the world! We do this independently, and via our collaboration with IBM and their IBM Z Student Ambassador program. We ensure students have access to the latest skills and knowledge to build successful careers in the mainframe industry.

Helping the Less Fortunate

Education should be accessible to everyone. We provide free access to our training system to underserved communities and individuals, giving them the opportunity to improve their skills and secure better futures.

Engaging with Local Charities

Interskill Learning actively participates in local charitable initiatives, from hosting donation drives to volunteering at events. We are committed to making a positive impact in the communities where we live and work.
