Facility Manager Core
For developing managers, experienced hires, and teams building a common operating foundation.
- 16 modules across four learning weeks
- Power, cooling, controls, safety, and leadership
- Scenarios, written work, and knowledge checks
SCS Professionals
SCS Data Center Academy
Learn the systems. Develop the judgment.
Vendor-neutral education for the people supporting critical facilities. A structured learning experience that connects theory, system behavior, and operating decisions.
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
- Electrical monitoring, alarms, and simulated fault recognition
- Electrical safety awareness, work boundaries, and maintenance procedure interpretation
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
- Controls, alarms, maintenance planning, and simulated fault recognition
- Introduction to liquid cooling and coolant distribution units
Inside the learning experience

Click through a system, consider the evidence, and explain your next decision.
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.
Explore the full programChoose your starting point
A foundation for different experience levels.
The role standard stays consistent. The amount of support can adapt to the learner.
New to the critical environment
Begin with system relationships, equipment vocabulary, and worked examples. Revisit the theory before tackling scenarios.
Bringing operating experience
Use knowledge checks and written scenarios to surface gaps and establish shared expectations. Experience informs the discussion; it does not replace site qualification.
