Applied Data Center Professional

About Course

The Applied Data Center Consultant (ADC) program is an advanced, strategy-focused training designed for professionals who aspire to lead the end-to-end design and consulting of mission-critical data centers. As the next step after the Applied Data Center Specialist (ADS) certification, this course builds on detailed engineering expertise and moves into high-level planning, site assessment, and integrated system design. Participants learn to translate business and technical objectives into compliant, future-ready data center designs that meet the most stringent international standards, including TIA-942 and EN 50600. Through real-world scenarios and consultant-level practices, learners develop the skills to guide clients from initial concept and site evaluation through full documentation, procurement, and final acceptance.
