Built for environments that can’t afford to get it wrong

Data centre demand is accelerating, driven by AI workloads, cloud expansion and growing regulatory focus on certified people. Qualified professionals are already in short supply across Ireland and Europe.

A recognised foundation

EPI training gives professionals an internationally recognised grounding in data centre design, operations, resilience and best practice.

Made for critical environments

Stronger knowledge of uptime, capacity, power and cooling translates directly into better decisions under pressure.

A baseline, not a bonus

As the sector matures, formal certification is becoming an expectation for teams managing critical infrastructure, not an optional extra.

Who CDCP is for

The course covers power, cooling, cabling, fire protection, physical security, operations and maintenance, so it is relevant well beyond the data centre team itself.

What you will learn

  • Key systems supporting resilient data centre operations
  • Power infrastructure and UPS systems
  • Cooling, airflow and containment
  • Structured cabling and network resilience
  • Fire protection, physical security and monitoring
  • Relevant international data centre standards and best practice

Who should attend

  • Data centre teams
  • Facilities and engineering teams
  • IT infrastructure consultants
  • Network and cabling professionals
  • Operations and technical support teams
  • Project managers
  • Contractors and installers working around data centre infrastructure
