This one-day London based BS25999 BCMS Foundation provides comprehensive and practical coverage of all aspects of implementing BS25999 Business Continuity Planning for real.

Previous attendees are leading their organisations toward successful certification; and users of our BS25999 training, books and toolkits now span the world.
