BB IT DR 6

[DR-5] What is a DRP-5000 IT Disaster Recovery Expert Implementer Course?

As we have already exit the COVID-19 outbreak, participants at BCM Institute are asking, "Should I return to attend the "brick-and-mortar" Disaster Recovery (DR) onsite course [DRP-5000] or continue with the 100% blended learning [BL-DR-5] online course?"

What are the differences between blended learning and hybrid learning courses? What is the course content? How is the module conducted? What I should know before enrolling on the course?

You are now viewing an advanced level IT disaster recovery course that starts you to be grounded on IT Disaster Recovery fundamentals before understanding the disaster recovery concepts and the IT DR planning processes to develop and implement the IT DR plan.  Finally, you will be expected to have a detailed understanding of what encompasses the continuous maintenance or upgrading of your IT DR Programme.

IT DR Expert Implementer Landing PageOverview of DRP-5000 [BL & HL] IT Disaster Recovery Course

As we begin our learning journey to return to the "new normal", BCM Institute will start its Hybrid Learning [HL] course beginning the last quarter of 2022. It will continue offering all its certification courses with a Blended Learning [BL] approach for modules 1 and 2.

Participants will have the option to continue Modules 3 and 4 as online BL courses or attend a two-day onsite face-to-face workshop.

This protracted time frame for Modules 1 and 2 allows one to understand the concepts taught in digestible bite sizes with targeted online interactions.

Care and consideration have been taken to ensure that the content and syllabus of Modules 3 and 4 are of the same standard and rigour as those of our on-site classes.

 

Here is a quick overview of the course, divided into modules 1 to 4. The learning roadmap below explains Modules 1 to 4 and their relationship to the 300-400-5000-level courses offered. Modules 1 and 2 will be blended even if you attend the hybrid learning [HL].

What are the Differences and Concerns?

Hybrid vs Blended Learning IT DR: The primary concern with blended learning is that it will be another direct conversion to eLearning training over video channels.  The entire process is designed so that the content will provide the same outcome.

Click the icon on the right to learn more about the difference between Blended and Hybrid Learning, which is offered by BCM Institute.

Instructors: The instructors delivering the modules remain the same as those who deliver the on-site training. You will learn from more than three instructors who manage IT DR programmes in their organisations. 

International Participation: Another significant change will be the participation of more international delegates compared to the traditional majority of Asian participants. Participants will be expected to discuss and work as teams from different parts of the world. The richness in sharing has always been the strength of our courses.

Readings: More pre-readings should be expected, as the objective is to ensure that knowledge that could be acquired via reading is done outside the training session. More time is allocated to sharing experiences from the participants and facilitators.
