CICS Java related courses for eduction

CICS TS support Java since 1998 CICS TS V1.3.
In recently release, more and more Java features and functions added into CICS TS like: JVMServer, Liberty, etc. Java becomes to more important programming language for CICS TS. But we couldn't find proper and series CICS eduction courses to help Java application developers works in CICS.
In current courses like:
WM865 - CICS Command level coding
WM875 - CICS V5 Advanced Application Development for SOA and Web Services
Most of samples and exercises are using Cobol.

So I suggest CICS provides some formal CICS Java courses for users.
