CNet Training focuses on data
centre sustainability
The Certified Data Centre
Sustainability Professional
(CDCSP) program teaches how
to create and implement a sustainability
strategy for mission-critical facilities.
The comprehensive program provides indepth
knowledge into the steps required
to evaluate, analyse, plan, implement
and monitor a sustainability strategy,
balanced with operational capability for
data centre facilities. The updated and
reviewed five-day CDCSP program dates
have been announced and are scheduled
in the UK and the US. It’s an instructorled
remote attendance program,
delivering live and fully interactive
classroom learning remotely.
Increased awareness of the urgency to
implement and maintain a sustainable
future coupled with evolving legislation
means that data centre operators
are under great pressure to embrace
sustainability strategies and improve their
‘green’ credentials rapidly and be able to
evidence improvement to stakeholders.
The program also teaches how to plan
for transformation towards a credible
sustainability life cycle that demonstrates
innovation and challenges business ethos
while being sensitive to business risk and
continuity. On completion of the program
learners will also be able to consider the
requirements for compliance and have a full
understanding of national and international
regulations, codes and standards.
Successful completion of the CDCSP
program also provides the learner with
a Level 5 BTEC Award, official CDCSP
certification, use of a post nominal title
and a digital badge. The digital badge can
be easily shared via social media and can
also be downloaded to verify knowledge,
skills and certifications gained, it therefore
adds valuable credibility to individuals’
professional profiles.
The program forms part of the globally
renowned Digital Infrastructure Education
Framework which maps technical
education programs, official certifications
and internationally recognised
qualifications to knowledge and career
progression routes throughout the industry,
providing designations that have become
key skills reference points that allow those
holding them to demonstrate their ability
and experience clearly.
Andrew Stevens, CEO at CNet
Training, said: “With the increased urgency
to implement and maintain a sustainable
future, we wanted to ensure the CDCSP
program is compact, but comprehensive
and accessible for data centre
professionals who are responsible for
sustainability within their facility.
“The new five-day program provides the
in-depth knowledge and skills to create and
implement a long-term sustainability
strategy within mission-critical facilities.
“More essentially, it also provides
the knowledge for individuals and
therefore businesses, to champion a
sustainability legacy that can enhance
competitive advantage, customer
perception and reputation.”
