Data center training needs to be flexible

When it comes to the data center industry, the real cost of training isn’t the money you pay to companies like us. It’s the opportunity cost associated with engineers not being able to work on client projects, sales teams not pitching customers and facility staff not responding to tickets.

That’s why we developed The Business of Data Centers and Data Center Technician – Facilities Management – two digital programs that professionals can complete in their own time, allowing them to prioritise both their work commitments AND their professional development.

Here’s what some of our students have been saying about our digital training:

The Business of Data Centers

“This is great for someone new in the industry. And I have new team members joining regularly who are currently learning “on the fly”. This will really help us move faster.”

Chris Fortier Rolfe, Director North America Marketing

The Business of Data Centers

“Wow!!! I was not expecting this course to contain so much information on data centers. I am thoroughly impressed with all the subject matter it contained, great job DCD!!!! Seriously, this is a fantastic “cradle to grave” overview of everything that involves data centers, from operations, market analysis, growth, construction, sustainability… the list goes on and on.”

Randall Niznick, Senior Director Operations

DCT – Facilities Management

“The e-learning program takes you through all the principles that lay behind operating and maintaining a world class data center. I’m already noticing the difference.”

Paul Willenberg, Senior Regional Manager

DCT – Facilities Management

“We chose DCD>Academy as a technical training partner to extend and enhance our technicians data center knowledge and ongoing learning processes.”

Ryan Hunter, Vice President – Facilities Operations
