Why choose real-life data centre training?

Hands-on practice: You’ll get to work directly with the physical setup of data centres—servers, cabling, cooling systems—so you can sharpen your practical skills and problem-solving abilities.

Get comfortable with the gear: You’ll have hands-on access to the latest equipment, making you more confident and skilled with the tech you’ll be dealing with on the job.

Handling emergencies: Real-life training lets you experience simulated equipment failures and other issues, so you’ll know exactly how to stay cool and fix things fast in high-pressure situations.

Teamwork and communication: You’ll work with other techs and teams, boosting your ability to collaborate and communicate effectively to solve complex problems together.

Sustainability

Sustainability is at the heart of the National Data Centre Academy. We’re refurbishing a former office building, using recycled data centre equipment, and we use renewable energy via a PPA. We are installing a solar array and BESS that will cover the majority of our energy use.

What sets us apart?

Data centres are at the heart of everyday life.

They’re essential because they power the digital infrastructure behind everything from online services and cloud storage to business operations and global communication, ensuring seamless data access and connectivity.

Because they’re so essential, their energy efficiency is crucial; without it, the environmental impact can be significant.

Our mission is to teach you how to operate technology responsibly, reducing your   environmental footprint while boosting efficiency, and wherever possible using the most advanced technology. We can also provide suggestions on new advances in data centre technology, such as the emerging applications of “digital twins”.

Our training facilities give you hands-on experience with both traditional and cutting-edge data centre setups, making learning both practical and engaging.

We offer courses tailored to different needs and experience levels – whether you’re new to data centres and want to grasp the basics, aiming to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability, or eager to explore the latest technologies, we’ve got you covered.

No matter what your goals are, we’re here to support your growth and career development.

We also believe in the power of collaboration. That’s why we open our facilities to everyone, including other training providers, to create a vibrant, learning-focused community.
