HOW MANY ORGANISATIONS
GENUINELY HAVE A STRUCTURED
INVESTMENT PROGRAMME IN
TRAINING AND ON-GOING EDUCATION
FOR MISSION-CRITICAL PEOPLE?
have the opportunity to learn how
to embrace the new and emerging
technologies and this will, in turn, benefit
the organisation.
Can you outline the alliance
with CBRE and the advantages
this will bring?
This is another big industry first for CNet
Training and we are delighted to be part
of such a huge global commitment to
education and professional development
with CBRE Data Centre Solutions.

CBRE has committed to certifying 100%
of its global technical workforce. Through
a strategic alliance with CNet, we will
work together to deliver a comprehensive
training and development programme
that requires each data centre technician
to achieve the highly respected Certified
Data Centre Technician Professional
(CDCTP®) certification and therefore help
to be recognised as the most skilled and
knowledgeable data centre technical team in
the world. CBRE already has an exceptional
global team and a solid reputation for
nurturing and progressing staff, and
FEATURE: TRAINING
this commitment to official certification
has raised the bar even further. I believe
no other organisation has committed
to demonstrating that its data centre
technicians are the best in the world and
proving it with 100% CDCTP® certification.
We forecast that the project will take two
years to complete; it’s a monumental project
and one of which we are delighted to be part.
CBRE is leading the way by ensuring that it is
nurturing and encouraging its entire technical
team to progress within the industry. This is
a move away from most companies which
tend to select just a few throughout their
team to invest in and put through education
and development programmes to gain
certification and qualifications.
This commitment from CBRE gives its staff
the personal and progression development
to enhance their careers and make them
stand out from the rest. This puts CBRE in a
very strong position; it will continue to lead
the way in data centre management and
operational excellence, and challenge the
rest of the industry to step up. n
