An industry-recognized path to advanced data center engineering mastery
The Data Center Specialist (DCS) certification is the only industry-recognized credential that validates a professional’s mastery of the complex mechanical and electrical systems that underpin modern digital infrastructure.
By achieving the certification, learners gain the deep, cross-disciplinary expertise of the power and cooling environment, including the technical systems, sub-systems, and other critical factors.
How to achieve this certification
To achieve the Data Center Specialist certification (DCS), the learner must complete the both the Power Professional course and the Cooling Professional course.
Each course takes 21 hours to complete and is led by a seasoned data center industry veteran in a classroom environment.
Following the completion of both courses, the learner will receive the Data Center Specialist certification, which is valid for two years.
Learners can then recertify by completing 12 hours from our recertification content library, providing a continued educational experience. Click here to learn more about recertification.
The following courses are included in this certification
Data Center Cooling Professional Course & Certification
Technical training on cooling technologies and strategies for optimal thermal management.
Data Center Power Professional Course & Certification
Technical training on data center power systems, from grid to chip.

Book a consultation"In my day to day role, Cooling Professional was essential in my learning of how to properly fine tune cooling mechanics, while Power Professional was key to my work with the generators and uninterruptible power supplies, especially when it came to improving efficiency."
“The content in this course was really useful - I learned a lot about the electrical systems and the considerations that go into making sure that the electrical configuration meets the demands for the building.”
”The content in this course is great! The knowledge I have gained has enabled me to speak with owners and operators with greater confidence than ever before.”
”As an engineer from a non-electrical background, this course provided an intense, fast-paced deep dive into electrical engineering. I learned a lot about sine waves, phase shift, impedance, electrical topology, energy storage, all of which I am now more fluent in.”
”Before the training, I had a good overall understanding of data center infrastructure, but I didn’t have an expert understanding of data center cooling. The training provided me with a greater understanding of the key concepts and practices related to data center technology, and empowered me with the right level of confidence I needed in my current role.”
”This course provided me with a well-rounded understanding. As a result, I am now able to take into consideration the requirements of a data center at large rather than just the critical power component.”
