CNet Training has launched a Competency and Confidence Assessment Modelling (CCAM) Tool for the data centre sector. The software could transform the way data centre managers identify, manage and mitigate people risk, the company claims.
The CCAM Tool provides real-time analysis of both competence and confidence for individuals and teams through situational judgement assessments, and exposes root causes of employee behaviour (positive and negative) in data centre facilities.
The new high-level learning program from CNet Training is aimed at network infrastructure design professionals. The new Certified Network Infrastructure Design Professional (CNIDP) program provides in-depth knowledge of the principles of infrastructure design from inception to commissioning and customer hand-over. It is based on European and International standards and best practice.
