COBOL courses and boot camps

COBOL is a computer programming language that reads like regular English, created for business tasks. It’s been around for a long time and is good at handling financial and administrative operations. Many banks and insurance companies use COBOL on a daily basis, and some of their most important data is processed in COBOL.

There’s a shortage of COBOL developers, the experts who understand and work with the COBOL programming language. SALT is one of the few companies in Europe that can offer qualified COBOL courses and boot camps.

Our COBOL courses

The course aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to become skilled developers in a mainframe environment. Through both theoretical and practical learning, participants will be able to use ISPF, and feel comfortable with key subsystems and programs. They will learn to use JCL to execute their COBOL code, they will also learn to interact with DB2 databases efficiently.

ISPF navigation:

The course begins with focused training on how to navigate the mainframe environment with ISPF. Participants will learn the most important commands and functions needed to be effective users of the system.

COBOL Programming and JCL:

A significant part of the course focuses on teaching participants to write COBOL code that is executable in the mainframe environment. Additionally, they will develop the ability to create JCL (Job Control Language) to execute their COBOL programs.

DB2 and SQL:

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of DB2 databases, including how tables are structured. They will learn to efficiently search for information in DB2 tables and discover best practices for communicating with DB2 from their COBOL programs. This is an important skill for managing and analyzing data in a mainframe environment.

Subsystem and Program Knowledge:

Participants will acquire knowledge of the most common subsystems and programs used in mainframe development.

Course testimonials

”Before I attended the COBOL course, I didn't know what COBOL was or how a mainframe operated. Now, barely a year after completing the training, I find myself developing critical central systems at one of Sweden's largest banks."
