Accredited Tier Professional (ATP)
Expand your knowledge and expertise to create innovative mechanical & electrical solutions for your data center that meet Tier Standards.
Program Overview
Digital innovation never stops. As the global demand on data centers increases, critical infrastructure becomes ever more complex. The Accredited Tier Professional (ATP) program provides the advanced training needed to design world-leading innovative digital infrastructure environments. The ATP program is designed for Accredited Tier Designer or Accredited Tier Specialist alumni that are looking to expand their knowledge and take their careers to the next level.
The ATP program teaches advanced analysis, problem- solving, and design principles. These teachings equip you with advanced knowledge of Uptime Institute Tier Standards, providing detailed approaches to enable fast-tracked achievement of Uptime Design and Facility Certifications.
The ATP program is a 16 hour remote program and accreditation examination covering expanded mechanical & electrical solutions for data centers, as well as the creation and implementation of unique and challenging technologies. The curriculum teaches both principles and practical application. Program material is technical and intended for engineers with at least 24 months design experience in a data center or critical facility.
The ATP program provides advanced instruction on the Tier Standard: Topology and its application to facility engineering and system design.
Why the Accredited Tier Professional (ATP)?
This program covers a comprehensive range of topics across the engineering discipline, including the mechanical & engineering infrastructure and ancillary systems, bringing existing knowledge up-to-date with modern and innovative advanced applications.
The benefits of earning the ATP credential include:
