  • Instructor-led
  • Technical
CPD
7 Hours

Course Description

This course is designed to identify, analyse and improve specific human behaviours which impact on the successful delivery of engineering services within a critical environment.

The aim of the course is to enable students to develop and apply critical thinking processes. Failure is defined as everything from breaking SLAs to actual loss-of-IT service and this is supported by real-life case studies.

Human factors features large in the examples and leads into solutions for minimising such inadvertent human intervention to avoid failures.

Who Should Attend

  • Consulting Engineers (Mechanical & Electrical) upskilling or transitioning to data center projects.
