Hi,
I'm planning to take "DS314PX" online course. I'm wondering has anybody already taken it? From site I found out it's $500 but I couldn't get the details like what's the duration? How helpful it is?Do they provide any hard copy of study material? Samples? What it consists of?
Please let me know your valuable feedbacks.
Thanks!!!

It's not great. It's old, version 6.x, it doesn't cover sequential jobs or job control. It doesn't give you any useability tips and tricks such as how to automap or propogate, how to insert a stage between two existing stages, why you would use stage variables, using annotations, difference between loading table definitions and dragging and dropping them. These are all things a good trainer would show you in a course as they went through the material. It assumes you are already familiar with a version of DataStage.
About the only thing it offers that you cannot get in the Parallel Job Developers Guide is the exercises.

Also, from what I recall, the $500 dollar version of the online classes last 30 days. If you pay full price (in essence the same as the live class) then you have access to the material for one year.
At least that's how it was a few years ago when I priced it out for my compatriots.
