Course Development Methodology 

The courses are developed based on an in-depth and systematic structure and rationale. At the core is EPI’s Data Centre Framework outlining all disciplines required for a fully managed data centre.  Based on this, EPI developed the world’s first and only Data Centre Competence Framework (DCCF) which defines the job roles and competences required in a data centre environment. 
From there EPI’s external accreditation and examination institute, EXIN, develops the testing criteria. Those testing criteria are then used by EPI to build the course content. Each course is written to cover the identified competences, incorporating the real-life experience of EPI’s global team of consultants, and referencing Bloom’s taxonomy for effective instructional design.

International Standards 

EPI courses reference international standards such as ANSI/TIA-942, EN-50600, NFPA-75 and many others ensuring that you acquire the most relevant and updated industry knowledge. 

Involvement in Standard Bodies and Standards Development

EPI sits on a variety of standards bodies (TIA, BICSI, SS) and play an active role providing feedback and suggest improvements on the standards. EPI submitted over 200 request-for-change in the latest TIA-942 standard which was the single largest contribution ever done by one party. EPI truly understands the subject-matter and is active in advancing the industry.

Vendor Neutral 

EPI courses are vendor neutral.  We provide independent data centre knowledge to enable you to evaluate, compare and choose the best solution for your environment.  You will learn to ask the questions vendors are not telling you or to be ready with answers for the questions customers may ask you.

Independent Accreditation 

All EPI courses have undergone external review and accreditation by EXIN, a fully independent global accreditation and examination body focused on the ICT and data centre industry.
