Curriculum

NVIDIA AI Rack and Interconnection Certification Prep

A seven-course program covering the full lifecycle of AI infrastructure: foundations and safety, facility power and cooling, site planning, rack and support infrastructure, cabling components and installation, and final commissioning and handover.

Why we made this

Prepares technicians and engineers to design, install, and commission NVIDIA AI rack and interconnection infrastructure end to end. Across seven courses you move from safety and facility fundamentals through site planning, rack build, high-speed cabling, and final commissioning, so you can certify a cluster is ready for production.

Courses

1
Foundations and Safety for AI InfrastructureA practical course for technicians who install and maintain AI infrastructure, covering the electrical, mechanical, fiber, and fire safety fundamentals that a 120 kW+ rack demands and a conventional data center mindset doesn't prepare you for.
2
Facility Power and Cooling for AI RacksLearn how power gets from the utility to an AI rack, how to calculate what a rack can actually draw, and what happens when air cooling runs out of headroom and liquid cooling takes over.
3
Planning and Site Assessment for AI DeploymentsA field-focused course on what to verify, document, and check before an AI infrastructure deployment begins, covering design documents, site surveys, and receiving inspection.
4
Rack and Support Infrastructure for AI PlatformsLearn how to plan, build, and verify the physical infrastructure that holds an AI rack together: from cabinet selection and cable management to overhead pathways and crew standards.
5
AI Cluster Cabling: Components and SelectionA practical course on the physical layer of AI cluster networks: how to read a reach code, pick the right cable, and make sure every component you install is actually validated.
6
AI Cluster Cabling: Installation CraftA hands-on course for technicians who need to install fiber and copper cabling in AI compute clusters correctly the first time, covering end-face inspection, transceiver handling, MPO polarity, and cable routing.
7
Commissioning, Testing, and HandoverA practical course on proving that a fiber or copper link actually works, not just that it shows as up — covering the right instruments, how to read measurements correctly, and how to hand over documentation that reflects what was actually installed.
