Essentials of Business Continuity Management

The new e-learning course from Continuity Shop

Essentials of BCM is a new BCI Approved learning resource which gives a complete overview of the Business Continuity Management (BCM) lifecycle in keeping with the Business Continuity Institute's Good Practice Guidelines and BS 25999.

The course contains a level of information roughly equivalent to that of a one-day classroom based course. It explains the key concepts of BCM and will help the student to gain a good understanding of what is required in order to implement BCM within an organisation.

All aspects of the BCM lifecycle are examined in the course from BCM Programme Management through to Review, Maintenance and Embedding of BCM arrangements.

What is BCM?

The awareness raising module!

Also available is a BCM awareness raising module "What is BCM?".

The module contains much of the material from the first module of the "Essentials of BCM" course but is designed to be used for an entirely different purpose.

Whereas 'Essentials' is intended to be used only by potential BCM practitioners and BCM department representatives, the awareness raising course is designed to be used by all members of an organisation - in order to help to Embed BCM within the Organisation's culture.

Because of this, the module's focus is on what BCM is and why it is important. It does not go into the majority of BCM concepts or methodology. The course is roughly one eighth the length of the 'Essentials' course and user licences are only sold for multiple users.
