# Common Questions FAQ ## Programs & Curriculum **What's the difference between Comprehensive Programs and Modular Specializations?** Comprehensive Programs are multi-module courses (8 hours) covering a full discipline in depth, like data center design or operations management. Modular Specializations are focused 1-8 hour courses on a single skill, like UPS load testing or fiber termination. Many teams combine one comprehensive program with several modular courses for their role, which is exactly how our bundles are put together. **How long does each course take?** Comprehensive Programs run 8 hours; Modular Specializations run 1-8 hours. All courses are self-paced, so learners can start and stop and pick up where they left off. A certificate is issued immediately on completion. **What topics does the course catalog cover?** The catalog spans six tracks: Power & Electrical, Cooling & Facilities Efficiency, Operations & Reliability, Security & Compliance, Design, Planning & Commissioning, and Monitoring & Smart Facility. Together they cover 43 courses and 184 hours of training. **Do I need a background in data center design or operations to take these courses?** No prior certification is required. Comprehensive Programs assume basic familiarity with facility systems, which suits engineers, technicians, and managers already working in or around a data center. Modular Specializations are built for hands-on technicians and typically require no prerequisite beyond the relevant equipment exposure. **Are course materials updated when codes or standards change?** Yes. Course content is reviewed against the current versions of the standards and frameworks it references, such as ANSI/TIA-942, NFPA 70E, and the Uptime Institute Tier framework, so the training stays aligned with current practice. **Can I see a syllabus or module list before enrolling?** Yes. Every course page lists its full module breakdown, learning outcomes, and audience under "What You'll Learn" and "Course Modules," so you know exactly what's covered before you enroll. ## Certificates & Credentials **Are these courses accepted as certification or a professional credential?** No. These are knowledge and best-practices courses, not certification exams or licensing programs. Learners receive a certificate of completion documenting the training they finished. Our parent company, HAZWOPER OSHA Training, LLC, is an IACET Accredited Provider, but that accreditation is held by the company. These data center courses do not carry IACET CEUs and are not a professional certification. **What standards and frameworks do the courses reference?** Course content references the industry standards relevant to each topic: ANSI/TIA-942 and ISO 14644 for design, the Uptime Institute TIER framework for infrastructure benchmarking, NFPA 70E for electrical safety, and SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS for security and compliance, among others. Each course lists the frameworks it covers directly on its course page. **Do data center training certificates expire or need to be renewed?** Certificates of completion don't have a fixed expiration date, but many employers require periodic refreshers as part of internal training programs, especially for safety-adjacent topics like electrical safety and access control. Check your employer's refresher policy; courses are short enough to retake as often as your program requires. **How do I verify an employee's completed certificate?** Each certificate of completion carries a unique certificate number and issue date. Enter them on HAZWOPER OSHA Training's [certificate verification page](https://hazwoper-osha.com/certificate-verification). A successful lookup confirms that the learner named on the certificate enrolled in, completed, and passed the course listed on it. It does not confirm that the person is qualified for specific work, licensed, or holds CEU credit. Those decisions stay with the employer. **Do you offer CEUs or PDHs (continuing education units)?** No. HAZWOPER OSHA Training, LLC, our parent company, is an IACET Accredited Provider, but these data center courses do not carry IACET CEUs. They are also not approved for PDHs or any other continuing education credit. Learners receive a certificate of completion only. Check with your licensing board or professional body if you specifically need CEU- or PDH-eligible coursework. **Does a safety course qualify someone to do electrical or other hazardous work?** No. An online course alone does not make anyone a qualified person for energized electrical work, confined space entry, refrigerant handling, or other hazardous tasks. Under OSHA rules and standards such as NFPA 70E, the employer decides who is qualified, based on training plus demonstrated skills on the specific equipment and tasks at that site. Our safety courses provide the knowledge portion of that training. Each safety course page lists the standards it covers and what it does and does not prepare a learner to do. **How is the certificate delivered, and can I print it?** Certificates of completion are issued digitally as soon as you finish a course and can be downloaded and printed for your records or an employer's training file. ## Format & Access **Can I take courses on my phone or tablet?** Yes. Courses run in any modern web browser, so you can start on a desktop and continue on a phone or tablet without installing a separate app. **What language are the courses offered in?** Courses are currently offered in English only. **Is there a deadline to complete a course after purchasing?** No. Courses are self-paced with no fixed completion deadline, so you can start, stop, and pick back up on your own schedule. **Are the courses accessible for learners who need accommodations?** Courses run in a standard web browser on any device. If you or someone on your team needs a specific accommodation, email info@hazwoper-osha.com and our team will help. **Do you offer a free trial or sample lesson?** There isn't a free trial, but every course page publishes the full module breakdown and learning outcomes so you can see exactly what's covered before enrolling. **Is instructor-led, virtual, or on-site training available?** Data Center Training courses are published as online, self-paced courses. HAZWOPER OSHA Training also delivers training in three other formats: live virtual instructor-led sessions, in-person sessions at your site for larger groups, and SCORM packages for your own LMS. To ask whether a data center topic can be delivered in one of these formats for your team, email info@hazwoper-osha.com or call 1-866-429-6742 for a quote. ## Pricing & Bundles **What's included in a bundle, and how much do I save?** Each bundle groups a comprehensive program with the modular courses most relevant to the same role — for example, the Power & Electrical Systems Bundle includes 14 courses and 47 hours of training on power systems, UPS, generators, and electrical safety for $986.99. The Complete Data Center Professional Bundle covers all 43 courses and 184 hours for $2,928.99, the deepest discount we offer. Every learner still gets a certificate for each course completed. **Which bundle is the best fit for a facilities generalist?** Facilities staff who touch multiple systems typically get the most value from the Operations & Reliability Bundle, or the Complete Data Center Professional Bundle if you want coverage across all six tracks. **Can I mix comprehensive programs and modular courses in one enrollment?** Yes. There's no requirement to buy a bundle or stick to one tier — you can enroll in any combination of Comprehensive Programs and Modular Specializations individually. Bundles exist purely as a discount for teams that want the full role-based path at once. **Can I upgrade from an individual course purchase to a bundle later?** If you've already purchased individual courses and want to move to a bundle, contact us at info@hazwoper-osha.com or 1-866-429-6742 and our team can review your enrollment and help find the best path forward. **Is there a limit to how many seats I can buy in one bundle?** No. Bundles support anywhere from a single learner up to 1,000+ seats, with volume pricing applied automatically as your seat count grows. **Do you offer government or education pricing?** We don't have separate published government or education pricing, but larger orders already qualify for automatic volume discounts — contact us to discuss options for public-sector or education budgets. **Is my payment information secure?** Yes. You don't enter card details when you send an enrollment request. When you pay by card, payment is processed by Stripe, a PCI-compliant payment processor, and we never see or store your full card details. Corporate accounts can pay by purchase order instead. ## Enrolling Your Team **Can I choose only the courses my team needs?** Yes. Every course is sold individually, so you can enroll each person in exactly the courses their role requires — for example Power Systems & Electrical Fundamentals plus UPS Operations for an electrician, or Access Control & Physical Security for a security technician — without paying for training your team doesn't need. **Can I enroll my team online right now?** Yes. Open any course, choose Enroll Now, set your seat count, and pay by card; learner logins are emailed once the order is placed. For a bundle you send an enrollment request instead, and our team replies by email with your order confirmation and payment options. You can also call 1-866-429-6742 or email info@hazwoper-osha.com. **Do you offer volume pricing for large teams?** Yes. Seat-count discounts apply automatically when you set your seat count at checkout, on a per-course or per-bundle basis: 1% for 2-10 seats, 2% for 11-20, 3% for 21-50, 5% for 51-100, 7% for 101-250, 8% for 251-500, and 10% for 501-1,000. For more than 1,000 seats, contact us. **Can contractors and third-party vendors take this training?** Yes. Independent contractors, cabling crews, HVAC vendors, and third-party facilities staff commonly complete this training as part of a site's vendor access or onboarding requirements. Certificates are issued per learner and can be shared with the general contractor or site operator as proof of training. **Is this training relevant across different facility types and locations?** Yes. Course content is built around widely used industry standards and frameworks (ANSI/TIA-942, Uptime Institute TIER, NFPA, ISO, SOC 2) rather than a single vendor's platform or one region's code, so it applies across facility types, states, and countries. Multi-site operators can standardize on the same catalog across every facility. **What payment and invoicing options are available for larger teams?** You can pay by credit or debit card, or use a purchase order number for a corporate account. Note the PO number in your enrollment request, or call 1-866-429-6742 or email info@hazwoper-osha.com for multi-site enrollments, bundle purchases, or invoice billing. **Can I get a single invoice for a mixed order of courses and bundles?** Yes. Contact us for multi-item or mixed course-and-bundle orders and our team can set up a single invoice covering the full order. **How do I track completions across my team?** Courses run on HAZWOPER OSHA Training's cloud-based learning management system. A training manager or supervisor can register for an account, enroll as many learners as needed, assign or change learners from the dashboard after purchase, and track each learner's progress, grades, and course completions in real time. Each learner gets their own login and certificate of completion, which can be downloaded for your training records. **Can we run the training in our own LMS?** Our parent company, HAZWOPER OSHA Training, provides SCORM packages for organizations with an in-house learning management system. SCORM availability for individual data center courses is confirmed per order, so tell us which courses you need when you send your enrollment request, or email info@hazwoper-osha.com. ## Policies & Support **What's the difference between this training and HAZWOPER/OSHA safety training from your parent company?** Data Center Training is a specialty division of HAZWOPER-OSHA Training, LLC focused specifically on data center topics — design, power, cooling, security, operations, and monitoring. Our parent company's broader catalog covers general HAZWOPER and OSHA safety compliance training that applies across industries, not just data centers. **Can I get a refund if a course isn't right for my team?** See our [Refund Policy](https://hazwoper-osha.com/refund-policy) for current terms, or contact us at info@hazwoper-osha.com and our team will help. **What if I need help while taking a course?** Email info@hazwoper-osha.com or call 1-866-429-6742 and our team can help with course access, technical issues, or questions about the content. ## Still Have Questions?
