Networks Centre provide a comprehensive programme of CNET training courses at Level 3 to Level 5, providing multiple learning paths for anyone following a career in Network Infrastructure or Data Centres.
NIF®
The NIF program explains how communication systems connect devices to processing points via fibre, copper, or wireless links. It provides a broad understanding of voice and data technologies and explores the physical infrastructure—cabling, containment, and pathways—needed to support complex communication networks.
CNCI®
The CNCI® is a ten-day course covering copper and fibre cabling installation, testing, and termination. It blends theory and hands-on practice, meets industry standards, and is recognised by manufacturers and contractors. CNCI® is widely required for job roles, contracts, and warranty accreditations, ensuring a right-first-time installation approach.
CNIT®
The five-day CNIT® course develops skills to supervise complex infrastructure projects. It covers design interpretation, stakeholder management, testing, and emerging technologies. Learners gain confidence in managing installers, risks, and technical documentation, while ensuring compliance and quality. CNIT® supports career progression through the Global Digital Infrastructure Education Framework.
CTPM®
CTPM® teaches how to manage complex telecom projects using global standards and telecom-specific practices. It covers risk, tools, compliance, and communication. Learners develop leadership and planning skills for campus-scale projects and are encouraged to pursue further professional development within the Digital Infrastructure Education Framework.
DCF®
This program introduces the purpose, design, and operation of data centres, explaining their critical role in modern life. It covers infrastructure, energy and facility management, and links operations to business strategy. The course also explores sector growth, value, and the increasing global demand for data processing.
CDCTP®
CDCTP® is a five-day course for technicians in mission-critical data centres. It covers power, cooling, IT, and space, with a focus on compliance, issue resolution, and operational efficiency. Technicians gain skills to ensure zero downtime and are encouraged to pursue ongoing career development within the industry framework.
CDCPM®
CDCPM® trains professionals to manage complex data centre projects, focusing on leadership, risk, and strategic delivery. Learners use tools like WBS, CPA, and EVA, tailored to infrastructure. The program supports facility expansion, particularly at the edge, and encourages ongoing development through the Digital Infrastructure Education Framework.
CDCDP®
CDCDP® develops skills to design efficient, sustainable data centres. It covers infrastructure, power, cooling, and compliance with global standards. Learners complete a full design case study and focus on aligning technical design with business needs. CDCDP® supports further certification through the Digital Infrastructure Education Framework.
CCTT®
This intensive 2-day program provides both theoretical and practical training in copper and fibre optic cable testing and certification using the Fluke Networks DSX-5000 CableAnalyzer™, CertiFiber® Pro Optical Loss Test Set, and OptiFiber® Pro OTDR. Certified technicians gain expertise in industry standards, advanced test parameters (including resistance unbalance, TCL, ELTCTL, and shield integrity), and the ProjX™ project management system. They learn to troubleshoot, analyse, and optimise high-performance installations across shielded/unshielded copper and multimode/singlemode fibre. The training enables technicians to perform confidently and independently, reducing the need for external support in deploying and certifying modern cabling infrastructure.
