Expand your knowledge and expertise to create innovative mechanical and electrical solutions for your data centre that meet Tier Standards.
Digital innovation never stops. As the global demand on data centres increases, critical infrastructure becomes ever more complex. The Accredited Tier Professional (ATP) course provides the advanced training needed to design world-leading innovative digital infrastructure environments. The ATP course is designed for Accredited Tier Designer or Accredited Tier Specialist alumni that are looking to expand their knowledge and take their careers to the next level.
The ATP course teaches advanced analysis, problem-solving, and design principles. These teachings equip you with advanced knowledge of Uptime Institute Tier Standards, providing detailed approaches to enable fast-tracked achievement of Uptime Design and Facility Certifications.
The ATP course is a 16 hour remote course and accreditation examination covering expanded mechanical & electrical solutions for data centres, as well as the creation and implementation of unique and challenging technologies. The curriculum teaches both principles and practical application. Course material is technical and intended for engineers with at least 24 months design experience in a data centre or critical facility.
The ATP course provides advanced instruction on the Tier Standard: Topology and its application to facility engineering and system design.
