However, due to the extensive training and development enhancement work on our courses, the first two modules continue to be offered online.
We have observed and learned that the grounding of BCM works best with some self-paced work and preparatory work undertaken by each participant.
Hence, BCM Institute will continue its blended learning courses (100% online) and re-launch its hybrid learning courses with the last two modules as onsite "brick-and-mortar" courses. You will work with our senior experienced practitioners to complete the training to reach this course's "Manage" competency.
As travel restrictions are relaxed, we note that it is still challenging for our global participants to join us physically. Hence, blended learning will continue to be our primary delivery mode.
Current Situation. Many organizations are returning to their offices with the new normal, which is hot desking for a few days in the office and remote working at home.
Onsite Vs Online. While professionals generally still prefer to attend an onsite classroom-based course with a facilitator or instructor being present, (electronic) online face-to-face classroom practices are fast gaining momentum and becoming acceptable.
Transformation of courses. The major change is not to have another four days of continuous web training. Firstly, we believe that learning online for more than three hours may be ineffective for the learner. Hence, the course is re-resigned in byte-sized portions to meet the objectives and learning outcomes of the advanced-level courses.
Blended Learning. BCM Institute crafted the BCM-8530 Blended Learning [BL-A-5] to answer the global requests for conducting the on-site BCM-8530 ISO 22301 BCMS Lead Auditor course. The high acceptance and participation rates by professionals outside of Asia testify to the effectiveness of our training approach. The major challenge is that the course lasts 8 to 10 weeks.
Major Change to Training Philosophy. The significant change is that participants should acquire static knowledge at their own pace and offline.
Self-paced learning depends on your experience. In module 2, the focus is to complete the mandatory content for the specific templates. This must be conducted before attending the onsite or online workshop to make the learning more effective, as each of us has a different learning goal, approach, and personal experience. With these considerations, our courses are now spread for non-discussion and non-experience-sharing activities conducted offline and at your own pace.
