From the first cohort.

Direct reflections from Cohort 01 participants — engineers, planners, and senior practitioners in active data centre delivery.

This course has significantly strengthened my understanding of Data Centre delivery and enhanced my insight into the critical thinking required throughout the entire project lifecycle — from site selection and early-stage planning through to RFS (Ready for Service).

Cohort 01 Participant

Very great quality of content and presentations, and depth of knowledge shared is immersive. I am really glad and impressed that I took this course at the right time.

Cohort 01 Participant
Post-programme evaluation

Honestly I'm so impressed with all sessions so far. I currently work in the DC sector and I'm noticing things I should be doing which I haven't.
