Introducing SCS Data Center Academy
A stronger foundation for the critical environment.
Connect equipment theory to the decisions a facility manager makes every day.
16Core modules
80Lesson sections
320Questions in the bank
4Week learning framework
Practice the judgment
Work through abnormal conditions, maintenance decisions, escalation, and handovers using fictional operating scenarios.
Make learning visible
Use written exercises, module checks, and saved individual records to identify what needs further study.
The core course is a complete instructional draft. Independent technical review and learner piloting are the next stages. See program status
Coming next to SCS Academy
Dedicated pathways for the technical workforce.
Beyond Facility Manager Core, SCS is planning separate electrical and mechanical technician courses—from equipment fundamentals to maintenance and troubleshooting scenarios.
Electrical Technician
A dedicated course for technicians entering or advancing in data center electrical operations.
Planned areas of study
- Electrical fundamentals and single-line diagrams
- Transformers, switchgear, protection, and distribution
- UPS systems, batteries, and bypass concepts
- Generators, automatic transfer switches, and power sequences
Mechanical Technician
A dedicated course for technicians entering or advancing in data center cooling and mechanical operations.
Planned areas of study
- Heat transfer, airflow, and containment
- CRAC and CRAH units: direct-expansion and chilled-water examples
- Chillers and separate water and refrigerant circuits
- Pumps, valves, cooling towers, and dry coolers
Experience the approach
See the sequence. Explain the decision.
Try a short example of how SCS makes system relationships tangible.
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS): the online inverter supports the load using the normal input or stored battery energy. Runtime and ratings are finite.
Illustrative timing
What happens / 01
Normal utility supply
Utility power feeds the automatic transfer switch and UPS input. The online UPS inverter supplies the critical load; the battery is available as stored energy.
What should a manager verify?
Which parts of this path are common dependencies?
A teaching example, not an operating procedure. Actual topology, sequences, protections, and timing vary by site.
