Which BCM E-learning Package Should I Attend?

Welcome to BCM Institute's E-learning introductory page on the planner courses leading to certification.

The ISO 22301 BCMS planner course is BCM Institute’s E-learning course that caters to busy Business Continuity Management (BCM) professionals and allows participants to obtain the Business Continuity Certified Planner (BCCP) certification at their convenience.  You can commence this online e-learning course anytime.

Stand-alone or part of the course.  This online or e-learning course is self-paced for two weeks if you are pursuing it as a stand-alone course.  If you are attending as part of the full 300-level or 5000-level course, this is also Module 1 for both courses.

What is included in the BCM E-learning courses?

There are two BCM E-Learning options, and they are:

[1] BCM Fundamental Package

• allows one to have a basic understanding of BCM.
• It has an estimated duration of 6 hours to complete.
• presents 6 Certificate of Completion (COC)
• awards Business Continuity Certified Planner (BCCP) Certificate

Upon successful completion of all the modules.

[2] ISO22301 BCMS Fundamental Package

The ISO 22301 BCMS Fundamental Packages priced at SGD 1,650, is similar to the BCM Fundamental package except for the additional modules to allow you to understand the basics of starting and managing the BCM program.  In addition, you will:

• need an estimated 8-hour duration to complete the course;
• be awarded 8 Certificates of Completion (COC)
• presented a "Business Continuity Certified Planner" or BCCP Certificate.

Differences Between Both Packages

The main difference between the two e-Learning programs is that the ISO 22301 Fundamentals package covers two additional modules on project and program management and explores management system concepts about BCM.

If you intend to go for ISO 22301 certification or want to know more about ISO 22301, this "ISO22301 BCMS Fundamental Package" will be suitable.

Except for the complimentary Overview of BCM module, all other modules end with an online assessment of up to 10 multiple-choice questions. Successfully passing the assessments for all modules in a package will earn the online student a Business Continuity Certified Planner (BCCP) certification, equivalent to students attending our brick-and-mortar classroom courses.

Both eLearning programs are available for purchase online. Once payment has been made and confirmed, an email with instructions and course links will be sent to you.

How long will the E-learning course expire once I start the first module? Does this course have limited access?

Participants are given 14 days* to access the e-learning portal. They may pause their learning at any point in the module and resume where they left off. An electronic notepad is also made available for participants to take notes and store them for ease of reference.

Do I need to complete all the quizzes?

Participants of the E-learning course:

• are required to finish a short quiz assessing their understanding of the various modules.
• The Business Continuity Certified Planner (BCCP) will be awarded upon completing all 6/8 modules in the selected package.
