CDCP Testimonial

“The CDCP training course was an absolute game-changer for me. The course not only provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the data center industry but also enriched my skillset in ways I could have never imagined.

The instructor's ability to convey their extensive knowledge was truly remarkable. They had a knack for simplifying complex concepts, making them easily digestible for someone like me who was relatively new to the field. Their passion and enthusiasm were contagious, and it was evident that they were genuinely invested in our learning journey.

The course itself was both challenging and immensely rewarding. Each module pushed me to think critically and delve deeper into the intricacies of data center operations. The curriculum was thoughtfully designed, covering a wide range of topics that are crucial for anyone aiming to excel in this industry. From power and cooling systems to security and risk management, the course left no stone unturned.

What truly stood out for me was how the course elevated my acumen. It not only equipped me with the technical knowledge I needed but also provided valuable insights into industry best practices and emerging trends. As someone who constantly seeks opportunities for growth, the CDCP training course exceeded my expectations.

I can confidently say that this course has not only expanded my expertise but has also opened new doors of opportunities in the data center industry. If you're looking to enhance your understanding of data centers and take your career to new heights, I wholeheartedly recommend the CDCP training course. It's an investment that yields invaluable returns, and I'm incredibly grateful for the experience.”

CDCP, CDCS, CDCE Testimonial

“Loved the courses and holistic view of my role I was able to develop and formalise. With having gone through to CDCE and having colleagues go through various other certifications having everyone working from a standard knowledge reference and language is invaluable from Sales through to Project delivery, highly recommended.”

Tim Desmond, Data Center Solutions Manager SEA

DCFC-TOD Testimonial

“Like many others who work in the sector, I only discovered the data center industry well into my professional career. And since I don't have a technical background, I had long wanted to get more structured training that could provide a broad introduction to the sector.

The DCFC has been so helpful! The course gives a solid overview of all aspects of data center planning, build, and operations, which have already helped me in my work. 

While I was familiar with some aspects of the curriculum already, I had never explored the topic in such a detailed and structured way before. This means that, despite my exposure to the sector as a whole, there was so much I missed that I had never encountered. By getting such a holistic overview of every aspect of the data center industry, I am now better able to understand each aspect of a data center in a deeper and more helpful way.

I now feel more confident and comfortable when discussing with colleagues, working on new projects, and attending events because the course helped transform my piecemeal understanding into something structured and streamlined with real-world examples and high-quality frameworks. It helped me become more effective in my role and further promoted my professional development.

I really appreciated that it's both virtual and self-paced, meaning I could complete the course at my own leisure. But what I really liked about it was the content."

 CDCP, CDFOS Testimonial 

"Completing the certifications has been a transformative experience. The structured curriculum, hands-on exercises, and expert instruction allowed me to gain a deeper and more systematic understanding of data center design, management, and operations. The training not only filled gaps in my knowledge but also introduced me to industry best practices and innovative approaches that I had not encountered before.

The certifications have significantly boosted my confidence and credibility in the industry. I have noticed a marked improvement in my ability to manage complex data center projects and make informed decisions that enhance operational efficiency and reliability. This newfound expertise has opened up new career opportunities and has positioned me as a more valuable asset to my organization.

The most notable impact of the training has been the increase in my technical knowledge and strategic thinking skills. I now approach data center challenges with a more analytical and informed perspective, which has been recognized and appreciated by my peers and supervisors. Additionally, being certified by a globally recognized body like EPI has enhanced my professional profile, making me more visible and attractive to potential employers in the data center industry

CDCE Testimonial

“I particularly liked the CDCE course because it reminded me that although we do things in real life with the best of intentions, they are not always the best practice. The course will help me better connect business requirements with what is best for the data centre in terms of availability, best practice and getting buy-in.”

CDCP-VILT Testimonial 

“Thanks for a most enjoyable 2 days. I was initially a little concerned about the online VILT. Instead I found it a very positive experience, very interactive, enjoyable and most of all informative. Thanks for sharing the information with us via this technology. I won’t hesitate to use this method again for my next course.”

Peter Banham, Business Development Manager, STULZ Oceania

CDCP-VILT Testimonial

“VILT was really a great learning platform. At first I was uncertain but as soon as I joined the session, it went on really good.

All in all a great learning experience with No technical glitches!!”

DCFC-VILT Testimonial

“The training was brilliant. It was super easy to learn in a familiar environment. I didn’t have the stress of being late to class, finding parking, finding the right room to be in, I just made my coffee and logged in. I was even able to handle a task or two on the side during the training when people ignored my DND status. I’m certainly interested in putting my name down for more courses in the future.”

Christopher O Connor, Datacentre Technician, Microsoft

DCFC-VILT Testimonial

CDFOM-VILT Testimonial

“The stereotype of classroom led training is continuously challenged by Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT). Having successfully passed my examination with 90% from the comfort of my home has really changed my outlook on classroom training. The Video Conferencing technology and instructor seamlessly turned my home into a classroom environment. Plus the benefit of being able to "anonymously" ask questions, arguably one of the biggest fears of students in a classroom, allowed me to deeper understand the content being taught.

I enjoyed this virtual experience thoroughly.”

Curtly Frost (MEA),
Solutions Architect (Elec. Eng.) CDFOM,

CDCP-TOD Testimonial

“I took the CDCP course on-line (Training On Demand “TOD”) and was very pleased with the experience.  I really enjoyed having the flexibility to take the video study modules whenever it suited my work schedule and the ability to pause, rewind, etc. allowed me to better digest the information. The materials in the videos supplemented by the study eBook were clear and comprehensive and the self-paced structure worked well for me.  I felt well-prepared for the exam which I also took on-line.  This was very straightforward to register for and take and I passed which is the ultimate testament to how well the TOD worked for me!”

Bill Bridgman, Vice President,

CDMS-VILT Testimonial

“The effect and performance of the CDMS-VILT was good. VILT is similar to sitting in a classroom for training, letting me easily concentrate on the training materials, interactive verbal discussions with the instructor and classmates in an effective way through my own laptop anywhere. I have no worry to recommend anyone to attend VILT, which I can see it is a trend for massive professional training around the world in future to minimise travels and maximize overall productivity as well as saving the planet!”

Joey Chung, The Hong Kong Jockey Club

CDMS Testimonial

“The CDMS course provides a step-by-step methodology to all aspects of a data centre migration with valuable and practical hints, which enhanced my knowledge in identifying the key elements and best practices that can apply in our coming migration project. The trainer, Otto, explained the course very clearly and I am really enjoyed it.”

Ronie Ng, The Hong Kong Jockey Club

VILT Testimonial

“The VILT session from EPI is one of the best which I have attended so far in my career. I have thoroughly enjoyed the training and the way the trainer handled the VILT is quite remarkable. Practical explanation is the highlight of this training and the trainer was able to deliver through VILT, it’s amazing. This kind of training helps data centre professionals learn and understand the on-the-ground realities which I thought was not possible via VILT, but I would say congrats, you have achieved it!

I am happy to be a part of this training and interested to take up advance courses.”

“The VILT (Virtual Instructor Lead Training) was a good experience. It was my first VILT for a certification course.”

Wendell Mendoza,
SG-Core Command Centre Manager,

VILT Testimonial 

“This was my first VILT class. I had my own apprehension on how the training would be in terms of collaboration and participation, with trainer and participants who were based across the globe via online (VILT). The EPI trainer, Leo, was very accommodative and ensured all the doubts were clarified. Also he ensured throughout the session to ask questions to make the class lively. This was a great platform where we could collaborate globally with associates from the same fraternity to understand the best practices implemented at their work places. Leo’s thoughtful endeavours helped the session achieve its goal.”

B.R.Santhosh, Ast General Manager Datacentre, ICICI Bank

VILT Testimonial 

“I have done two courses from EPI (CDCP & CTDC). My CDCP was classroom based and CTDC is VILT. When I signed up for EPI VILT session, my first impression is the classroom training is better than VILT. However, I have realized there are a lot more positive aspects of VILT session after experiencing it. I would strongly recommend professionals to consider VILT mode instead of class room due to the following reasons – save travel time, more time to review training materials before exam, you can ask questions without hesitation, and even after VILT session you can ask trainer for clarification. Finally, it’s really convenient to sit for the EXIN Anywhere exam.”

Jayaraman Manikandan, Senior ICT Engineer,
PM Group Asia Pte Ltd

CDCP-VILT Testimonial 

“I’m very happy having experienced the CDCP-VILT training. The EPI Instructor was very kind and patient when sharing the knowledge to me. The platform also was stable and good.

CDCS-VILT Testimonial 

“If you want a well organised and in-depth training on data centre then this is the training (CDCS) to go for. A very well structured training delivered by subject matter expert with depth and breadth knowledge within the data centre space. Our trainer, Leo Lee has been delivering this training with great passion and provided real life scenarios to better understand the concepts behind complex subjects. Thanks to the VILT which allowed me to follow this training very interactively without any glitch from the comfort of my home office in French Polynesia (South Pacific).”

Siddick ELAHEEBOCUS,
Director and Technology Strategist

VILT Testimonial 

“I have done three courses from EPI (CDCP, CDCS, CDMS); two of them (CDCP and CDCS) through Instructor-led training (ILT); and CDMS through Virtual Instructor-led training (VILT). I have found the VILT provided the same level of learning as ILT. In fact, in some training sections, I have found VILT is better than ILT. The instructor shares his experience, tutorial, and other valuable information very effectively and participants also participated actively. I have passed the exam the day after the training. For me, VILT was an enjoyable experience and I will do more virtual training when I can.”
