EPI CDCS Complete — Certified Data Centre Specialist
Everything in Deluxe, plus the plan that sequences it. Complete is the full CDCS preparation package: the study guide, the 500-question practice bank, the cheat sheets, hub access — and a week-by-week 5-week study plan that tells you what to study, what to drill, and when you're ready to book.
The real exam: 60 questions in 1.5 hours, multiple-choice, closed-book, passing mark of 45 out of 60, accredited by EXIN. Prerequisite: a valid CDCP certificate. The certificate is valid for 3 years, after which recertification is required.
What's inside:
- The complete study guide — 6 chapters covering all eleven official syllabus modules, with exam callouts and chapter summaries
- 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 redundancy and protection-device tables, the power and cooling formula sheets, the gas-system requirements table, and the PUE improvement levers
- Online practice hub access (license key included) — Timed mode at the real exam format (60 questions in 90 minutes), Practice mode by module, and Review mode for missed questions only
- The 5-week study plan — a Monday-to-Friday schedule that works through all 6 chapters and all 500 bank questions in order, gives Advanced Power and Advanced Cooling the extra days their syllabus size demands, then finishes with three timed exam simulations and a clear rule for when to book your exam: two consecutive simulations at 52 out of 60 or better. 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: Design Life Cycle and Standards; Building and Raised Floor; Advanced Power; EMF and Advanced Cooling; Fire Protection and Networking; Contamination and Efficiency. Listen first, then drill the same material in the hub
