Course Overview
The Credential for People Who Build Business Continuity Management, Not Just Describe It
No two disasters cause equal damage. Natural disasters, security breaches and other incidents separate organisations that are prepared from those that work ad hoc. ISO 22301 sets the requirements for a business continuity management system (BCMS) that keeps operations running through disruption.
As a Lead Implementer, you scope the BCMS, run risk assessment and business impact analysis, design continuity strategies and plans, set up incident response and exercise programmes, and get the organisation ready for certification. Veloraa delivers the official PECB curriculum online, with practical examples, exercises and quizzes so you can apply what you learn straight away.
Disruption Is Inevitable
Preparation is what keeps an organisation running when it happens.
Plans Must Be Tested
Exercises prove that continuity plans actually work.
Few People Can Lead It
Organisations need practitioners who can run a BCMS project end to end.
Who Should Attend?
Anyone who will build, run or advise on business continuity management
No prior ISO 22301 knowledge needed.
