This page aims to assist you to in clarifying further doubts you have on attending the CC-5000 Blended Learning [BL-CC-5] Course
Your course fees covers all the pre-reading materials, online facilitated discussions as well as assessments and examinations attached to the course.
It also includes 1 re-examination at the Qualifying Crisis Communication Certified Expert (CCCE) Exam in case you did not pass on the first try.
While the mode of delivery and the courseware has been adapted to suit a virtual training, you are still getting the same value in terms of standard, competency and level of professional instructors for the course.
In fact, you would be getting the same instructors as you would be getting if you had attended the "brick and mortar" course.

Blended Learning
No this is not a new initiative. BCM Institute have always had an e-learning platform. The COVID-19 situation just allowed us to feature the courses more prominently. This is especially since we have been getting increasing requests of the CC-300 and CC-5000 courses to be conducted internationally.
The CC-5000 Blended Learning is the first course to be aligned to the ISO standard (being published) and BS 11022 standard and it is now known as CEN/TS 17091:2018 Crisis Management - Guidance for developing a strategic capability.
As the courseware and standard is no different from our "brick and mortar" course, it receives the same recognition as its face to face counterpart.
Different from the heavily discounted or free courses offered by top universities through Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) platforms like Udemy and Coursera, these courses are available only for limited participation. Its online modules are also conducted live allowing for instant feedback and interaction among participants and facilitator.
Using zoom as the online platform, it allows one to engage their fellow participants in the course. As it is not bound by geographic constraints, participants would more likely be able to interact with a more international crowd.
This interaction, no different from what BCM Institute's courses are known for, would further enhance the participants understanding in implementing a CM plan and managing a CM team.
Currently, BCM Institute has 7 such courses and they are:
(BL) BCM-300: ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management System Implementer
(BL) CM-300: Crisis Management Implementer (Emphasis on COVID-19 Pandemic Preparedness)

Your course fees include a free re-examination (i.e. 2nd try at the examination). Those who fail at their first try would also be given an analysis of which parts they are weak at as well as access to online recorded revision sessions.
But if in the case that you do fail again, you would need to make a Singapore Dollar (SGD) 250 re-examination fee payment. You are able to send in the passing re-examination result to make your IMDA claim as long as it is done within 1 year of you starting the course.
We are using the latest CC standard while WSQ uses the Singapore WSQ requirements with no or little discussion on how it relates to international CC Standards. This course also prepares you to understand how to work with senior management and manage maturing CC programs.
The Singaporean and Singapore Permanent Resident claiming the IMDA CITREP funding has to complete and show proof of passing the online Qualifying Crisis Communication Certified Expert (CCCE) examination before funds can be reimbursed to them.
