Schneider Electric has reportedly announced the availability of the Data Center Certified Associate (DCCA) online certification program through Energy University. The DCCA certification program provides data center professionals with exposure to current and emerging industry trends and practices that improve their professional credentials and credibility.
The DCCA certification program provides foundational knowledge relevant to designing or upgrading the physical data centre, including power, cooling, racks, cabling, fire protection, management, and physical security. The development path is created to guide users through the preparation and course requirements necessary to prepare for the Data Center Certified Associate exam. There are 14 courses in the path, and each of the courses takes less than an hour to complete. Once the courses are complete, the user can easily take the exam, which was previously only offered through a physical testing center, through their Energy University account. Additionally, the certification provides a global standard for determining an individual’s core knowledge of data center design, build, and operations.
“Globally, there is a high demand for skilled data center professionals and the challenges facing this industry in terms of growth, infrastructure, and management underscore this certification’s value,” said Michelle Souza, Program Manager, Energy University, Schneider Electric.
The overall education program that started with Data Center University has provided energy efficiency education courses to professionals in over 165 countries and 13 languages since 2006. Currently, Energy University has more than 350,000 users globally and more than 500,000 courses have been taken. Additionally, the programs feature more than 22 global industry endorsements.
