CNet Training, a specialist in technical education for the data centre and network infrastructure sectors, has released new industry approved technical education programmes for data centre professionals.

The new and upgraded high level programmes utilise advanced teaching methods that allow the classroom learning to be undertaken in five days. This new format has been applied to the following programmes from The Global Digital Infrastructure Education Framework, and to all delivery locations across the world:

Including the audit process and analysis of the audit data to verify the status of the data centre, includes making detailed and structured recommendations to establish an action plan to improve the operational capability to support the business needs.

The five-day format requires some pre-class reading which is fully supported by a dedicated and experienced tutor who is accessible for learners should they wish to talk through any elements, or require clarification as they study the pre-class material.

Successful completion of the programmes awards official certification and an internationally recognised qualification, and CNet remain the only industry dedicated technical education provider in the world to award such accolades.
