Experience and Expertise: Courseware
CETi courseware has been developed by technologist entrepreneurs, consultants out in the field, professional text book authors, and the collective efforts of CETi staff.  Computer Education Techniques, Inc. courseware library spans the onset of modern data processing.

Our collective experience with software engineering predates 1982. Robert Blumfeld, did pioneering work with the initial releases of CICS, IBM' s mainstay systems software, at the New York Times in the 1960’s and his association with Ed Yourdon, a contemporary and colleague at the company, resulted in a cross fertilization with the new techniques in structured analysis/design. Several staff members were involved in first generation coding and debugging of programming languages (COBOL, Assembler Language, PL/1, FORTRAN, RPG) and IBM systems software (VSAM, IMS, and CICS).  We have used each successive generation of software technology. And equally as important, categorized and developed content for effective knowledge transfer. Few software companies, let alone consulting and training companies, have the inventory of courseware, sample programs, workshops, and training aids.

Courseware and SYS-ED Courses
Courseware and training aids are a central component of SYS-ED instructor-led courses.

Content, examples, diagrams, and workshops are updated to address both the new releases and omissions/errors in the source software company documentation. SYS-ED websites serve as a distribution center for clients to review courseware, common questions, and assess their experience/mastery of the content prior to enrolling in a course.  An organization should not enroll an employee in a SYS-ED course without reviewing the information from the appropriate website.
