There is a well known "learning pyramid" whose origins are shrouded in mystery, and sometimes referred to as the "cone of learning" it states that a "learner" will retain 5% via a lecture, 10% via reading, 20% via audio/visual, 30% via demonstration, 50% in a discussion group, 75% via doing, and 90% by teaching others.
At the National Data Centre Academy www.nationaldatacentre.academy we teach by audio/visual, demonstration, discussion groups and by doing, which we believe is far better than a webinar or classroom.
We provide short (1 day) and long (3-5 days) courses covering data centre engineering, including Data Centre Industry Awareness, ideal for new entrants to the sector, Data Centre Standards, covering all the global standards, Data Centre Legislation, covering the EU/UK regulatory environment, Data Centre Cooling covering the basics of cooling, Data Centre Power, covering power systems, Data Centre Sustainability, covering ESG aspects and construction, Data Centre Commissioning, covering the IST regime and our longer courses, Data Centre 101 and its sister course Data Centre 101 for planning officers, Data Centre/Server Room Energy Efficiency and Building the Data Centre of the Future.
We can also work with you to develop a course specifically for your needs.
For further information visit the website or contact us on [email protected].
Sometimes you need to be inside a data centre to understand it, and you won't get that online or in a classroom, the National Data Centre Academy has its own mini server room where delegates improve the room using the EU Code of Conduct for Data Centres (Energy Efficiency) best practices, and our other technical training suite covering power, D2C and Immersed Compute is in detailed planning.
Our courses are checked prior to every delivery to ensure that delegates get the latest and most up to date information on standards, legislation and technologies.

What's the "value proposition" of taking a course at the National Data Centre Academy?

Well, our principal instructor is well known throughout the industry, he is the chair of the BSI TCT7/3 committee that covers the EN 50600 and ISO/IEC 30134 series of data centre design, build and operate and key performance indicator metrics, he is the joint author of the EU Code of Conduct for Data Centres (Energy Efficiency) (EUCOC) and sits on the TechUK Data Centre Council, he has also worked for the EU as a stakeholder on such projects as EURECA, Catalyst, the Assessment Framework for EU Taxonomy and the Energy Efficiency Directive, delegated act for Data Centres, he is also a ESOS Lead Assessor and an ISO50001/22301 Lead Auditor, Energy and Business Continuty Management Systems.
For the rest of 2025, anyone paying for our 5 day Data Centre/Server Room Energy Efficiency course will also get a free assessment/report of their own server room, we expect that energy savings of between 10-25% may be possible with the prudent application of the EUCOC best practices
Our 5 day courses also include accommodation at a local hotel in the price.

The National Data Centre Academy is equipped with its own practical training suite for energy efficiency and phase 2 includes our own real data centre for research and training purposes.
We have a number of external members and partners including Dycem, Zumbotel, Data Centre Alliance, ICHRC Ltd, Clear Decisions, Connectium, Innovate UK and we are in conversations in others.
We have space within the facility to showcase your products in both active and passive modes for an entire year for what you would pay for one event.

Our intention is to provide quality practical training to the data centre community here in the UK, we are in discussions with various parties to develop a data centre engineering degree and apprenticeship, we provide practical training for non data centre personnel on ICT/Server Rooms, we offer tasters for existing qualified non data centre personnel in other trades and professions and finally we support veterans to transition to civvy street.
Our aim is that anyone wanting a career in the data centre sector that undertakes any of courses will have an advantage when applying for a position within a data centre company either an operator or in the supply chain.
We are "By the Sector, For the Sector" to "Train Tomorrows Digital Technicians".
Come and join us on our quest, visit the NDCA website www.nationaldatacentre.academy or send an email to [email protected] to find out more.
