Presented by Intelligent Education Partner learning plan for each of the learners. Everyone learns in a different way so a good Instructor will adapt his/her presentation and style to cater for each of the learning types presented in the class. Working as a full-time employee at CNet gives me to more scope to continue my development and knowledge of the industry. I regularly receive technical updates from the CNet technical development team. This keeps me ahead of the curve when it comes to the latest changes within the industry and I can rapidly add this detail into all the programs I instruct.

If you could change one thing about the DC industry what would it be? Personally, I would like to see more women involved. It is a predominately male industry. The women I have met in it from all aspects, marketing, engineering, IT and management have all been excellent and I feel more women would benefit our industry and bring more diversity to teams. IT GIVES YOU A GREAT SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT IN KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE ENABLED A LEARNER TO BE THE BEST THEY CAN AND PROVE IT WITH OFFICIAL CERTIFICATION AND QUALIFICATIONS They will be positive, believe me. Also remember that the data centre sector is like any other, it requires people to support every aspect of the business, not just the technical side of things. Listen, listen, listen to the experts, they will impart their knowledge onto you. Lastly, work with a smile, you always learn more when smiling. ◊ What’s the most useful piece of advice you’ve been given in your career? God gave you two ears and one mouth Tony, listen twice as much as you talk. You will learn more. Any advice for people who would like to get into the DC sector? Reach out to people currently employed in the sector, get their opinions on it. Tony Hassett, Instructor at CNet Training Issue 06 61
