Our company has used CPR Systems for VSE and VM system programming training. They have a one week z/VM course which I see is not currently scheduled (www.cprsystems.com), but you could ask them. I have not taken their courses.
We sent a newbie to both their VSE and VM training and he came back smarter. He eventually left us, so I can't get his comments for the forum.
