There is a free OpenVMS training environment - user oriented.  Four courses:


    Introduction to OpenVMS, CC-001
    Introduction to OpenVMS Editors, CC-002
    Introduction to DCL - Interactive Commands, CC-003
    Introduction to DCL - Command Procedures, CC-004

You can find them at http://plato.ccsscorp.com

Yes, it is something I created.  I had hoped to eventually add to it.  That may happen eventually.  Issue being time to put to it versus time spent on more pressing items.

Also the next step as far as courses will have to rely upon either emulators (which are becoming more difficult to obtain due to changing business practices) or some for of "cloud" based environment to provide "systems" for the "budding system managers".

Bill.
