Certifications and Accreditations
Working with industry associations and educational bodies ensures that CNet Training’s internationally recognised qualifications
are relevant to the industry, they are also sought after by employers. All CNet programs offer official certifications (awarded by
CNet) and recognised qualifications (awarded by Pearson, the world’s largest education provider).

A certification proves that an individual has completed

Re-certification
Keeping you up-to-date with the industry.
The data centre industry is ever-growing and evolving and it is important that your knowledge remains up-to-date and relevant to reflect the very
latest needs, standards and codes of practice that are constantly being developed.
CNet have designed and developed a simple online re-certification process. We utilise a Learning Management System (LMS) allowing learners to log
on and undertake the re-certification at a convenient time and place for them. The process now only provides further learning, allowing learners to
update knowledge and re-certify skills, on successful completion it also provides access to download the program material detailing the very latest
technical information that you can refer back to time and time again.
Why Re-certify Your Skills?

uu Provides new learning to bring your knowledge up-to-date with the very latest changes and technical developments within the industry

uu Ensures you can continue to use your post nominal title i.e. Martin Smith CDCDP
uu Provides you with access to download the program material, enabling you to use this as a reference in the future
uu Provides certification of your status for a further three years
What are Accreditations?

Accreditations usually consist of a short period of training which are certified to prove competency in relation to a certain subject. Many vendors
have their own training programs, these prove learners understand their products and are proven to be competent users. Again, accreditations often
have a time scale of 2-3 years associated with them before renewal is required.

EXPERIENCED Instructors
At CNet Training we are proud of our ability to provide program learners with access to some of the most respected and technical minds in the
data centre and network infrastructure industry. This may seem obvious, but is sometimes overlooked; a great Instructor has knowledge of
and enthusiasm for the subject matter that they are teaching. They are prepared to answer questions and keep the material interesting for the
program learners.
CNet Instructors are world renowned and they also help to shape the direction of their industries by being active members of associations and
committees that define how that industry will operate in the future.
Our Train-the-Trainer Quality Commitment

CNet is committed to quality management and takes it very seriously. CNet’s quality management system is certified as conforming to ISO
9001:2008 which demonstrates continued quality focus. Every Instructor is employed by the company which allows the implementation of
processes to ensure that they are equipped with the knowledge, skills and abilities to guarantee program delivery is exceptional in every respect.
This starts with the rigorous Train-The-Trainer process.
Train-the-Trainer Process
Each Instructor has to undertake a comprehensive and in-depth process for each program they will teach. The process can take between
6-12 months to complete which demonstrates our total commitment to quality and ensuring our program delivery continues to be world
renowned.
There is also an on-going assessment required with regular technical audits, to ensure each Instructor’s technical delivery meets our required
high standards. Plus after each program delivery a quality audit is undertaken from information received directly from the feedback provided
from each learner (each learner is asked to assess the program content and the delivery from the Instructor and there are certain quality scores
we aim to achieve, if we do not meet the required quality scores action is taken to address this).
Plus, as each CNet program is regularly reviewed and updated to ensure the technical content remains current, Instructors receive masterclasses
from the Technical Manager, this new learning is also assessed to ensure accuracy when delivering to learners.

Remote Attendance Programs
Experience real-time collaboration with live virtual classroom learning.

Utilising the latest innovative smart screen and audio technology, it takes “remote” learning to the
next level by uniting traditional classroom based learning with live remote attendance.
It allows the high-quality Instructor-led classroom environment to be shared “live” with virtual
learners as they remote in.
In real-time the live virtual classroom environment allows remote attendees to benefit from the same
interaction, collaboration and Instructor contact as those who are physically present in the classroom.
Effectively sitting in the back row of the classroom, remote attendees therefore see, hear and enjoy the
same learning experience as physical attendees.
Remote Attendance:
uu Sit in the back row of the classroom
uu Can see, hear and work through the same learning materials
uu Interact with the Instructor and other learners
uu Participate in group activities via live virtual breakout rooms
How Does It Work?

The live virtual classroom is fitted with the latest high-definition, bi-directional audio/visual communication
and collaboration tools that effectively transports the remote attendees into the classroom. All learners
and the Instructor can see and interact with each other in the usual way.
Remote attendees simply receive a link from CNet to download the necessary software and log in details
for the CNet Learning Management System. Then, along with the items listed below, remote attendees
have everything they need to enjoy the entire Live Virtual Classroom experience.
Remote Attendees Require:

uu A laptop/PC with unrestricted internet connectivity (suggested >4Mbps dedicated) and the
latest browser and suitable applications for reading PDFs and standard office documents
uu A USB camera, microphone and separate speakers are recommended, or integrated camera,
microphone and speakers
uu Dual monitors are recommended as ideal to view an extended desktop and further enjoy the
learning experience

Masters Degree in Data Centre Leadership and Management Topics
Year 1 - PG Certification (PGCert)

The first year of the program enables you to develop your expertise in three key themes that are at the heart of any business: leadership, sustainability and financial
management. The program starts with an introduction to leadership in the data centre sector, exploring different approaches to leading in a complex and dynamic
business. You will then go on to look at issues of sustainability and design, from the business management perspective. Leaders also need a sound understanding of
money issues, so financial management is also included coupled with how financial considerations influence you as a leader.

uu Investment appraisal
Year 2 - PG Diploma (PGDip)

The second year takes your expertise to the next level. You will start off by exploring key data centre issues of infrastructure management, security and disaster
recovery, in particular looking from the perspective of the business. To be successful, a data centre business is dependent upon its people, so you will explore human
resource management, organisational behaviour and strategies for maximising performance in teams. You will also develop your understanding of decision making,
which is particularly important in critical services.

Year 3 - MA
The final year expands your horizons even further, giving you the chance to develop your thought leadership and address specific business issues. First, in the
“Leadership and Management in Context” module, you will explore themes in the data centre sector and gain an in-depth understanding of issues that are important
to you. Next, you will develop your research skills, giving you the expertise to frame, plan and deliver research - this will provide a platform for your academic studies
and will also enable you to develop new, credible and robust knowledge in your business. Finally, you will put all of your learning into practice by developing and
delivering a major project (“dissertation” or “thesis”). You can look at this as a piece of consultancy work which could address a live issue in your workplace, or be
based on a theme in the data centre sector as a whole. Your major project will be one of the defining moments of your Masters Degree program and could open the
door to further study or career development.

Assessment Modelling
The World’s First Competency & Confidence Assessment Modelling (CCAM®) Tool for the Data Centre Sector
available only from CNet Training.
Risk affects every organisation, although the types of threats that businesses face will depend on varying factors, yet many businesses
struggle to accurately identify and counter risks effectively.
CNet has launched the world’s first Competency and Confidence Assessment Modelling (CCAM®) Tool for the data centre sector and has the
ability to revolutionise the way data centre managers identify, manage and mitigate people risk.
The CCAM® Tool provides real-time analysis of both competence and confidence for individuals and teams and exposes root causes of
employee behaviour (positive and negative) in data centre facilities. Its proven complex software, which is supported by a team of
psychologists and operates within International Test Commission guidelines, works through various criteria to identify people risk. It focuses
on where individuals’ real skills, knowledge and ability gaps are and, through subsequent targeted intervention, behaviour can be positively
changed and subsequently risks reduced.
The results of each assessment allow the right course of development action to be planned and taken to address individuals’ weaknesses,
and with the ability to take the CCAM® Tool assessment again post-development, it ensures any costs incurred have been utilised effectively,
thus maximising the opportunity to achieve ROI. It can also be used as a valuable pre-employment tool allowing managers to understand the
development investment required for potential new staff.
Is your business at risk? The CCAM® Tool provides an analysis of, and scores, each
individual within your team to identify:
