EPI CDCE Complete — Certified Data Centre Expert

Everything in Deluxe, plus the plan that sequences it. Complete is the full CDCE preparation package: the study guide, the 500-question practice bank, the cheat sheets, hub access — and a week-by-week 6-week study plan that tells you what to study, what to drill, and when you're ready to book.

The real exam is in two parts: Part A 60 multiple-choice questions in 90 minutes (minimum 45 correct), Part B 25 open questions in 90 minutes (minimum 75%), both closed-book, accredited by EXIN. Prerequisite: a valid CDCS certificate. The certificate is valid for 3 years, after which recertification is required.

What's inside:

- The complete study guide — 6 chapters covering all ten official syllabus modules, with worked sizing and site-selection exercises, a full design-validation walkthrough with findings, worked hand-over and retirement scenarios, exam callouts, glossaries, trap catalogues and chapter review questions with discussed answers

- 500 original practice questions — correct answer and explanation for every question, organised by module (counts derived from the number of official syllabus topics per module — a study distribution, not EPI's weighting; EPI publishes no weights for this exam)

- Cheat sheets for all six chapters — including the sizing chain, the OSRA/TFRA table, the two-gates comparison, the four levels of proof, the three-certificates table and the 12-step retirement sequence

- Online practice hub access (license key included) — Timed mode at the real Part A format (60 questions in 90 minutes), Practice mode by module, and Review mode for missed questions only

- The 6-week study plan — a Monday-to-Friday schedule that works through all 6 chapters and all 500 bank questions in order, gives Design Preparation the extra week its syllabus size demands, builds in timed Part B written drills from Week 2 (the bank is multiple-choice; the drills convert that knowledge into the written, ordered answers Part B rewards), then finishes with three timed Part A simulations and three Part B drills and a clear rule for when to book: two consecutive simulations at 52 out of 60 or better, plus complete written answers inside three and a half minutes per question. Includes the missed-question review protocol

- 6 audio walkthroughs (MP3) — one narrated walkthrough per chapter that talks you through the material in plain spoken language, in the same order as the chapters: Life Cycle and Design Preparation; Design Planning and Development; Acquire and Construct; Fit-Out and Test & Commissioning; Hand-Over; Retirement. Listen first, then drill the same material in the hub
