Become a BICSI DCDC

Congratulations on your decision to apply to become a BICSI Data Center Design Consultant (DCDC). In this booklet you will find exam

information including requirements and fees and an exam application. As part of the handbook, we’ve also included the BICSI Code of Ethics,

the DCDC Standards of Conduct and the BICSI Antitrust Statement.

Prerequisite Requirements To sit for the DCDC exam, you must first have:

A minimum of two years of approved and verifiable experience in the field of data center design and/or construction. Experience must be within the last six years.

Application Process The following items must be completed and submitted to BICSI World Headquarters:

n A fully completed and descriptive DCDC Exam Application (see pages 8-10) submitted at least 30 calendar days before the requested exam date. The application must be approved by BICSI before the applicant can sit for the examination.

n A nonrefundable application fee must accompany your application. This does not include the cost of sitting for the DCDC examination.

n Three letters of reference. Letters should be on company letterhead, dated and include a contact telephone number and email address. The letters should be from the following:

n One personal reference.

n One from a client or customer for whom you have recently completed data center design or construction work. The letter should be referencing your work within a data center project. The letters MUST include the following information:

n Explanation of your data center design or construction qualifications by providing specific details of the work performed.

n A summary of the scope of the project, the project’s location and how you were involved in the project.

n Date of the job from beginning to end and the level of the client’s satisfaction. Generic details such as, “he did good work for us” or “he helped us with the design” are so general, they are meaningless and will NOT be accepted by BICSI.

n One from your current employer stating your level of participation in data center design or construction projects you are working on and the length of time that you have been actively employed to work on data center projects.

NOTE: If you are self-employed or a principal of your company, you must provide an additional letter from a client for whom you have performed data center design or construction.

Applications will not be processed unless all required information is completed and application fee is received.

Design includes development of design plans for data center systems and integration. This includes site surveys, user needs analysis, work print creation, project specifications, RFP creation and pre-project coordination with PEs, architects, AHJs, etc.

Construction includes installation, testing, project/site supervision, project QA, data center facilities management and operational support, etc.

Letters that are not specific or cannot be verified as stated will result in rejection of the application and/or an ethics investigation of involved BICSI members if references are found to be fraudulent. Based on the verification process of your data center design or construction experience, BICSI reserves the right to require additional submittals as proof of experience. Failure to provide these additional references will result in rejection of the application. All references will be verified.

About the ExamComputer-based testing is the primary examination administration method through Pearson VUE. Paper-pencil format is available only a couple of times per year at select BICSI Conferences. See Exam Registration section for more information. The DCDC examination is comprised of 100 multiple-choice questions. You are allotted 2 hours to complete the exam. The exam is designed to test your knowledge and your ability to solve problems in situations by applying the acquired knowledge (knowledge- and application-based questions) in the Duty/Task Statement areas of the BICSI DCDC Exam Content Outline/Blueprint and Job Task Analysis. You must achieve a minimum of 70 percent on the exam to pass. Pass/fail results will be provided at the testing center after completing the exam. A score report is also provided to all unsuccessful candidates. The score report will reflect a percentage of correct answers in each section of the exam, not an actual score. Results are not provided over the phone for CBT exams. Candidates must be able to use a computer and mouse. Special needs may be requested on page 13 of the application. Candidates are not allowed to bring anything (phones, watches, hats, etc.) into the testing room. All necessary items will be available during the exam, including calculators and a whiteboard for scratch paper. There are no scheduled breaks during the CBT exam. If a break is needed, the break will count towards the 120 minutes you have to complete the exam. The exam is structured to allow you to challenge a question that you think may be unclear, confusing or incomplete. You may also flag a question and return to it at the end of the exam. Challenged questions that are meaningful and relevant to the exam question will be reviewed by the Registrations and Credentials Supervision (RCS) Committee. If you answer the question incorrectly and the committee determines a rescore changing your final score from fail to pass, the credentialing department will notify you by email

within 30-days of the exam. The time spent on challenging questions is allotted in the 150 exam time total.

Suggestions to Ready Yourself for Exam DayThere is more to exam preparation than knowing the material and the technology. People need to prepare themselves physiologically and emotionally for the challenge. Stress, anxiety, tension and fatigue can have a significant adverse impact on an individual’s test performance. Memory, clarity of thought and mental alertness are directly affected by the physical and emotional condition of the individual.

This exam is important to you. Once you have studied and prepared your mind for the task, it is important that you prime your body. Listed below are a few tips intended to help you maximize your effort.

The night before an exam:

n Get a good night’s rest, but do not oversleep. A tired person often has problems with trying to focus on concepts, especially the abstract. Oversleeping lends itself to lethargy or confusion, and may reduce comprehension.

n Avoid the consumption of alcohol. The ingestion of any amount of alcohol the night before an exam is probably too much.

The day of the exam:

n Do NOT study the day of the exam. Last minute “cramming” can increase anxiety and decrease self-confidence which may result in the unfortunate effect of reducing test performance.

n Eat a light-to-moderate breakfast (avoid large meals). Hunger is a distraction. Overeating makes a person sluggish.

n Avoid drinking too much coffee. Caffeine, in large quantities, can affect comprehension and can cause stomach and urinary tract discomfort.

n Relax. Do some light-to-moderate exercises (avoid strenuous exercise). Read a newspaper or a magazine, or listen to music.

n Allow yourself plenty of time to travel to the testing facility. Plan to arrive early. Rushing can raise a person’s blood pressure, heart rate and stress level.

n Avoid work-related issues if possible. Problems at work can be a major distraction and can seriously affect your ability to concentrate on the tasks at hand.

During the exam:

n Be cautious about changing your answers. It is a well-known fact that people, on average, will change more correct answers to wrong answers than vice versa. Change an answer only if you have a strong reason to believe that your marked choice was incorrect. This behavior is typically the result of spending too much time on a question resulting in the tendency to “over think” the problem and read more into the question than is required.

n If you are unsure of an answer, “flag it” and return later. Make sure to allow yourself the time needed to review the flagged questions.

After Passing the DCDC Examination:Upon successful completion of the exam, you will recieve a certificate and lapel pin via U.S. Mail.

Length of Validation for your DCDC Credential Your DCDC credential is valid for three complete calendar years, with an expiration date of December 31. Your credential will be valid for the

remainder of that calendar year in which you first passed the examination plus an additional three years, regardless of the month in which you passed

the exam. For example, if you passed the exam in February 2012, your designation would expire on December 31, 2015.

Continuing Education Requirements BICSI views learning as a life-long endeavor and places an emphasis upon continuing education as part of maintaining your DCDC status. Within

each three-year registration period (after the exam is passed), all DCDCs must obtain a minimum of 24 BICSI-offered or -approved continuing

education credits (CECs). These CECs must be directly related to the ICT industry. DCDCs must complete this requirement in order to renew their

credential. Applicants who attend an exam review course within seven days prior to passing the exam will receive CECs toward their first CEC renewal

requirements.

BICSI allows up to 10 surplus CECs to be carried over into the next renewal period. Carried over CECs must be from courses completed in whole

(partial course carry over is not permitted) and within the last quarter (final three months) of the current renewal period.

Responsibility for Renewal

It is the DCDC’s professional responsibility to ensure that all requirements and conditions for renewal are satisfied and submitted to BICSI prior to

designation expiration. BICSI issues renewal reminders as a courtesy, but it is the credential holder who is ultimately responsible for keeping track of

dates, CECs and any other requirements of the renewal process.

Renewal Extensions

BICSI does not normally approve requests for renewal extensions. Last minute extension requests due to job demands, company budgets and

changes in employment status, marital status, personal finances, mailing addresses and other personal or professional reasons are not considered

to be valid reasons. Issues involving a severe hardship such as a major medical emergency in the immediate family, natural disaster or military

deployment into a remote or hazardous area will be considered on a case-by-case basis. All extension requests must be documented, verifiable and

submitted prior to the designated expiration date. A decision on the status of the request will be made in writing.

BICSI Antitrust Statement

BICSI believes strongly in competition. U.S. antitrust laws are the rules under which our competitive system operates. It is BICSI’s policy to comply in all respects with the antitrust laws.Association meetings or workshops by their very nature bring competitors together. Accordingly, it is necessary to avoid discussions of sensitive topics. Agreements to fix prices, allocate markets, engage in product boycotts and to refuse to deal with third parties are automatically illegal under the antitrust laws. It does not matter what the reason for the agreement might be.

Accordingly, at any association meeting discussions of prices (including elements of prices such as allowances and credit terms), quality ratings of suppliers, and discussions that may cause a competitor to cease purchasing from a particular supplier, or selling to a particular customer, should be avoided. Also, there should be no discussion that might be interpreted as a dividing up of territories.

An antitrust violation does not require proof of a formal agreement. A discussion of a sensitive topic, such as price, followed by action by those involved or present at the discussion is enough to show a price-fixing conspiracy. As a result, those attending an association-sponsored meeting should remember the importance of avoiding not only unlawful activities, but even the appearance of unlawful activity.

BICSI CREDENTIAL HOLDERS - STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

BICSI has established the Ethics Committee, the Code of Ethics and the Credential Holders Standards of Conduct to reinforce BICSI’s position on the importance of its members and credential holders exhibiting the highest principles of ethical and professional behavior in the provision of their products and services associated with the information and communications technology (ICT) industry.

BICSI CODE OF ETHICS

BICSI’s Code of Ethics is based on the principles which assume that societies are governed by a profound respect for human rights and the rule of law. In addition, these principles support the thought that ethics, the criteria for determining what is right and wrong, can be agreed upon by members of an organization and that understanding matters of taste requires sensitivity to cultural norms.

BICSI has established the Ethics Committee, the Standards of Conduct and the Code of Ethics to reinforce BICSI’s position on the importance of its members and BICSI credential holders exhibiting the highest principles of ethical and professional behavior in the provision of their products and services associated with the information and communications technology (ICT) industry.

The BICSI Code of Ethics provides a way for individuals to resolve situations that may be encountered that violate the BICSI Standards of Conduct.

The Standards of Conduct and the Code of Ethics apply to BICSI’s general membership and credential holders.

An ethics complaint may be filed when there is a concern of a violation of the BICSI Standards of Conduct. Information regarding the process for filing an ethics complaint can be found on BICSI’s website at www.bicsi.org.

BICSI Standards of Conduct violations:

• BICSI’sgeneralmembershipandcredentialholdersareexpectedtoexercisegoodjudgment.Whenindoubt,onemustask,“Isitethical?Isitlegal?”Iftheansweris“maybe”or“no,” one must reconsider their action to make sure they maintain a high standard of personal and professional conduct.
