Specialised CPD-accredited training for data centre planning, project controls, and construction professionals. Alba DC Hub delivers structured learning programmes that bridge the gap between general project management and the specific demands of mission-critical digital infrastructure delivery.

Our flagship programme — the Data Centre Planning Professional (DCPP) is the first structured training course covering the full data centre project lifecycle, from site selection and authority approvals through to long-lead equipment procurement, construction sequencing, and commissioning handover (Levels 2 to 5).

Why does specialised data centre training matter?

Generic credentials such as PMP and PRINCE2 do not address the unique complexities of data centre delivery: 52 to 80 week equipment lead times, Tier classification schedule impact, multi-track parallel delivery (Authorities, Design, Procurement, Construction, Commissioning), and hyperscaler handover protocols. The DCPP closes that gap.

Who is the training designed for?

Planning engineers, project managers, project controls professionals, MEP engineers transitioning into critical infrastructure, and consultants working on data centre projects across the Middle East, Europe, and beyond.

How is the programme delivered?

Live online via Zoom across 8 sessions (16 hours total), with full course materials, recordings, peer discussion via WhatsApp, and a post-course Certificate of Completion recognising 16 CPD Hours.
