more popular in today’s digital age. Andrew Stevens,
President and CEO of CNet Training, discusses the
technical education provider’s leading Certified Data
Centre Technician Professional (CDCTP) program, and
what learners can expect to gain.
Ensuring zero downtime within
the mission critical data centre
environment involves employing
highly competent and confident
technicians that consistently demonstrate
unrivalled technical knowledge and skills.
High-quality technicians are increasingly
seen as a vital component to the smooth
running of any data centre operation.
Andrew Stevens, President and CEO
of CNet Training, outlines the Certified
Data Centre Technician Professional
(CDCTP) program, a leading program
across the industry for individuals
wishing to acquire skills of the highest
calibre in order to carry out their data
centre related activities.
Can you provide an overview of
the Certified Data Centre Design
Professional (CDCTP) program?
The Certified Data Centre Technician
Professional (CDCTP) program explores
a wide range of subjects relevant to
the data centre technician, including
a detailed breakdown of the data
centre operating environments and the
four key constraints to its operational
effectiveness (power, cooling, IT and
space), the necessary operational
policies, procedures and compliance
based on legislation, standards (national
and international) and codes of conduct.
Also, during the program, learners will be
offered a valuable opportunity to access
the latest industry standards.
What can learners expect to gain
from the program?
The five-day CDCTP program provides
learners with the skills so they can
foresee potential causes of failure
honing an in-depth understanding of
facility components and their operating
parameters. In addition, technicians can
identify, analyse and remedy problems
as they occur, quickly, decisively and
accurately, avoiding potential high-cost
repairs and the risks associated with
loss of service.
A certified CDCTP will have the
knowledge, expertise and skills that are
considered essential in ensuring a data
centre facility is operated and maintained
to the highest possible standard.
Who is the CDCTP designed for?
The program is beneficial for individuals
working within mission critical data centre
facilities. Experience of working within a
data centre environment is essential. If
you would like to discuss your experience
or suitability for this program, please

assess your experience and the program
