to further develop their knowledge and
skills, move into specialist areas and gain
the knowledge and confidence for future
job roles and career progression. We are
pleased to have educated over 65,000
individuals in 42 different countries and to
133+ different nationalities.
CNet’s programs aid the opportunity for
real career progression and development.
The Global Digital Infrastructure Education
Framework offers a future education path
of progression for industry professionals
who can work through the framework from
copper and fibre optic cable installation,
all the way through to the world’s first
Master’s degree in Data Centre Leadership
and Management, with graduates
joining an elite global group of data
centre professionals. Every program has
been designed to address the skills and
knowledge requirements of those working
in different areas of these vibrant and fastmoving
sectors. While the programs flow
perfectly from one to another, they are of
equal value as standalone programs, plus
learners can enter the framework at any
level depending on their experience.
It’s important that education programs
are not just about ticking attendance
boxes. Our programs have been
carefully and meticulously designed,
with the support of the industry, to
create technical educational programs
that match the true requirements of
the industry now and consider the
predicted trends and ever-evolving
needs of the future. From the Certified
Data Centre Management Professional
(CDCMP) program which is designed
for individuals wishing to enhance their
ability to effectively manage, control and
improve the operational effectiveness
of a data centre environment, to the
more specialised Certified Data Centre
Energy Professional (CDCEP) which
teaches learners how to create an energy
efficiency plan for a data centre and
ways of reducing energy use and carbon
emissions. Everything the CNet team
designs has been carefully considered
to ensure the outcomes and additional
knowledge gained can be used and
implemented to make a real difference
within a working environment.
We have also recently reviewed and
updated the content of our Certified
Data Centre Sustainability Professional
(CDCSP) program to reflect the latest
sector needs and innovations. The
Certified Data Centre Sustainability
Professional (CDCSP) program teaches
how to create and implement a
sustainability strategy for mission-critical
facilities. The comprehensive program
provides in-depth knowledge into the
steps required to evaluate, analyse, plan,
implement and monitor a sustainability
strategy, balanced with operational
capability for data centre facilities.
On completion of each program, learners
gain both a qualification and an official
certification. Qualifications are for life
– once you have them they are yours
to keep forever. Certifications are a
commitment to life-long learning and
WE ARE
PLEASED TO
HAVE EDUCATED
OVER 65,000
INDIVIDUALS IN
42 DIFFERENT
COUNTRIES
AND TO 133+
DIFFERENT
NATIONALITIES.

need to be re-certified every three years.
Re-certification is a simple process that
brings knowledge up to date with the
latest technical advances in the industry,
ensuring individuals can continue to
demonstrate that their knowledge and
skills reflect the very latest technical
needs of the industry.
All CNet programs are designed by our
technical team and involved contribution
from global industry experts and
influencers. This ensures that the content
is current and reflects the needs of the
industry across the world.
We are pleased that The Education
Framework has genuinely helped move
industry professionals up the career
ladder or into more specialist areas.
Each program can flow into each
other and the learner continues to grow
and learn vital new up-to-date knowledge
and techniques.
You only have to look at industryspecific
job specifications to see that
CNet certifications and qualifications
are desirable or even required to apply
for certain network cable or data centre
related jobs. It is without doubt that
achieving official certifications provides
additional knowledge, skills, confident
and competent which helps to boost
quality and, of course, works towards
mitigating the risk and astronomical
costs associated with human error. This
supports CNet’s values. ◊
