Onboard, Benchmark and Certify your Operations Workforce

Blue collar operations is the beating heart of the data center industry, but 24x7x365 uptime requirements make training logistics difficult - a site can't afford their technicians & facility engineers to spend the day in a classroom - yet with human error being the leading cause of downtime, continuous learning is essential to reducing risk & improving efficiency.

This is why our operations syllabus is fully self-paced. Operators can onboard, benchmark and certify their mission critical staff without training interfering with their busy schedules.

DCT is used by Hyperscalers, Service Providers and Enterprises to:

  • Create a single set of standards for facilities staff
  • Benchmark global mission critical workforces
  • Onboard staff new to the data center sector
  • Reduce risk and increase efficiency

  • As a military member transitioning to the data center industry,I found this course very helpful for expanding my basic knowledge of data center operations into something far more competitive as I look to move into this field. This course is perfect for someone with a technical background moving into the industry or technicians trying to gain the knowledge to advance into higher roles.
