EPI plays a crucial role in strengthening the data center industry in the Netherlands and globally through high-quality training programs that support both professional development and broader societal benefits. Partnering with Vijfhart IT-Opleidingen and the Dutch Data Center Association (DDA), we are dedicated to enhancing the sustainability, resilience, and talent pool within the Dutch data center sector, addressing the pressing issue of staffing shortages.

As the global demand for skilled professionals in IT and data centers rises, our training programs are crucial in closing the skills gap. Well-trained personnel are vital for maintaining the continuity, efficiency, and sustainability of data centers, especially in a competitive market facing significant staffing shortages. Courses like the Certified Data Centre Professional (CDCP®), Certified Data Centre Specialist (CDCS®), and Certified Data Centre Expert (CDCE®) equip professionals with the necessary expertise, helping organizations not only fill these gaps but also attract and retain top talent.

Our training programs are offered globally, both digitally and in-person, and in multiple languages. This global accessibility allows us to serve the international data center market effectively, ensuring that colleagues worldwide can communicate in the same technical language. By standardizing skills and knowledge across borders, we help organizations maintain consistent levels of expertise and operational efficiency.

Sustainability is a key focus of our courses, which incorporate best practices in energy management, cooling technologies, and infrastructure design. This emphasis not only benefits the environment but also makes the industry more appealing to employees who value environmental responsibility.

Through our collaboration with the DDA, we amplify our impact in the Dutch market while our global operations support data centers worldwide. Together, we aim to raise the knowledge level in the sector, leading to better performance, reliability, and societal benefits like reducing environmental impact and addressing the skills shortage. With this approach, EPI helps build a more sustainable and stable future for the global data center industry.
