It's a bit of a stretch to describe these as "courses". They're nothing more than thinly disguised IBM marketing materials. Here is a sample question from the so-called course "The Value and Differention of System z": "True or false? System z is the world’s best server for mixed, complex workloads and large-scale consolidation" Guess what answer they want? Here is a clue: if you click "False" you get this: "Good attempt, but the statement is true. System z is the world’s best server for mixed, complex workloads and large-scale consolidation." I have seldom seen anything more risible.
