CCSS Interactive Learning
is an environment built for you,
the student. The emphasis of the courses we offer is on OpenVMS,
the world's best production operating system, originally developed
by Digital Equipment Corporation, later enhanced by Compaq
Computer Corporation, and now with continued support and development
by Hewlett-Packard
Company. Our goal is to offer effective training in OpenVMS
and related products to users anywhere in the world who have
access to the World Wide Web.
The courses offered here are complete. You need nothing
more than your web browser and a telnet connection to complete
each and every one of the courses we offer. We provide the
self-paced environment, the computer resources and the terminal
access. In addition we provide extended documentation, tutorial
services and testing with individual feedback on each test
by one of our experts.
Course certificates are awarded to those who complete the
test for a given course with a score greater than 90% correct
and average less than 30 seconds per question.
For those interested in extended study beyond the courses
we offer there is a selection of literature which relates
to the OpenVMS environment or computing in general.
In addition we offer links to materials which can make your
use of OpenVMS via a personal computer easier and more fulfilling.
These include robust terminal emulators and replacement keyboards.
Please, explore our site and investigate a course. All courses
are currently available at no cost.
