zAcademy curriculum
In response to companies' growing need to recruit new mainframe profiles, we have set up a specific course for beginners.
Drawing on the experience of the zAcademy, set up in partnership with IBM, our trainers have designed a series of modules required for a rapid rise in skills.
38 days spread over 3 months to turn your new recruits into operational mainframers!
The modules included in the curriculum are indicated in the training catalog by an icon:
The schedule is only valid for a minimum of 3 participants.
It is divided into several modules over a total duration of 15 weeks, for a total of 45 training days.
We offer two types of course:
- "zAcademy" intra to train a dedicated group of 6 to 8 future experts from your company
- "zAcademy" inter allowing you to train 1, 2 or 3 people at a lower cost, who you can then integrate into your teams.

A unique network of experienced z/OS trainers
Virtel relies on a network of collaborators specializing in centralized IT.
Established over 35 years, it relies on experts who have a deep understanding of the IT history of large companies using these technologies and master all mainframe skills.
As trainers, they are true ambassadors, capable of providing meaning, motivating, and supporting a population of young engineers who are sometimes put off by technologies that were never introduced during their training and may seem obscure or outdated to them.
Customized z/OS Mainframe Training Courses
The training offered is tailored to the company's context and objectives, as well as to each student's career path and skills.
The courses offered allow students to acquire specific skills and also to follow comprehensive training courses, enabling them to assume global responsibilities: systems architect, developer, zOS systems engineer, zOS administrator, etc.
The z/Heritage approach combines:
- basic training for future mainframers
- skill transfer from senior to junior (mentoring)
- access to an e-learning platform
- practical work or workshops for practical application
