In this course, you will learn basic concepts and skills you need to be productive users on Power Systems with IBM i. In this course you will learn  everything from signing on to the available user interfaces; green screen environment, and IBM Navigator for i. You will learn how objects are managed on the system and how you display these objects. You will learn to use control language (CL) commands (fast path) and how to work with and manage messages on the system. We will also address how to the system manages work and how you manage your printouts. This course alsos provide a basic overview of security.
