Business Continuity Management Specialist Certification
(Virtual Classroom)

Overview

Recently updated, post the release of the ISO22301: 2019 in October 2019, ours is the most current BCM course available today, based on latest thinking. Our BCM Specialist course has been designed to provide a complete learning experience for professionals looking to get BCM certified. Those who pass the exam held on the last day will be awarded the BCM Specialist certification from the UK-based FQA.
This course is conducted as an open-public session, but is also ideal for organisations to have conducted as a bespoke in-house, with tailormade examples specific to your industry and environment. This course will provide an intensive and comprehensive learning experience of the steps required to implement a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS). Participants will be taken through number of exercises covering the full span of BCM implementation (Program, Policy, BIA, RA, Plans, Testing, Auditing, Continual Improvement etc.). Our trainers will share all the 'tricks of the trade' with the workshop participants, enabling them to get both the practical knowledge of how to implement BCM with practical real-life examples, and also pass BCM certification exams.
Training methodologies include videos, classroom lectures and discussions, including BCM challenges, and how to overcome them. More than 60% of this course is spent on hands-on activities such as exercises, case study, role plays, discussions and practice questions, so that by the end of this workshop, participants would have a deep understanding of BCM. Our Trainers typically possess 2-3 certifications in BCM and have 25-30 years hands-on experience in Business Continuity and Emergency Response, including having conducted a number of BCM implementation assignments, assessments and reviews. Many of them have in the past been BCM Heads of their organizations. Their caliber and experience is one of our key differentiators. Real customer feedback forms on past courses by our trainers can be provided as needed.
