About Oakwood

Oakwood Computing Ltd is a computing consultancy dedicated to producing high quality training courses for the IBM and UNIX market.  We were founded in 1985 and still do business with our earliest clients!

We emphasise the hands-on approach to skills development, so the majority of our courses involve practical work on OS/390 and UNIX systems.

All our material was developed as a result of client requests, and we have been commissioned to produce many courses from scratch either where none existed, or where the mix of topics was unique to a client.

Apart from 'live' training, we have also produced technical reference manuals and over 30 video training products.

OS/390 Conversion

We have delivered over 50 training courses for programmers and operators who are converting to OS/390 or MVS from VSE, UNIX, PC systems, and other manufacturer's hardware (e.g. ICL, DEC, UNIVAC).

Where in the world . . ?

Most of our work is in the UK, though we have presented many courses in other countries.  Our courses are all in English, but we have gained a lot of experience lecturing to people whose first language is not English.

To date, we have delivered Oakwood courses in Australia, Eire, Finland, France, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, UAE, and the USA.

We expect the list to continue to grow.  It's a small planet.
