It's an amazing product and exceeded my expectations, helping me prepare for my job interviews. Hands-on learning requires you to actually know what you are doing.

Alex Bush

Full Stack Engineer

I'm really impressed by the AI tutor Cosmo's feedback about my code. It's honestly kind of insane to me that it's so targeted and specific.

Abbey Helterbran

Expand your foundational COBOL knowledge with a focus on more sophisticated data structures and arithmetic operations. This course will deepen your understanding of group items, arithmetic operations, and their practical applications, setting the stage for advanced data handling and computations in COBOL programs.

Gain a deeper understanding of control structures in COBOL. This course will teach you how to navigate complex decision paths using IF statements and EVALUATE statements, and how to loop through several values, all crucial for making decisions in banking applications.

In this course, learn how to handle files in COBOL. This is crucial for banking applications that need to store and retrieve customer and account information. You'll start with basic file operations and gradually move to more complex file handling.
