This document outlines a 16-session training course on IBM WebSphere MQ. The sessions cover MQ architecture, messaging concepts, objects like queues and channels, distributed queue management, triggering, commands, dead letter queues, utilities, installation, configuration files, clusters, multi-instance usage, and protocols. Hands-on exercises are included to demonstrate topics like one-way and two-way communication, triggering, dead letter queue processing, and how clusters work.
