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

Overview 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].  

Module Content and Requirement

The chart shows how the modules (1 to 4) are packaged to form the courses you may be interested in attending.

Below is a snapshot of what you can expect from the programme.  Each module's syllabus or "Course Content" and the delivery or "Course Requirement" have been carefully crafted to ensure that the outcome matches each day of the DRP-5000 IT Disaster Recovery Expert Implementer competency level.

What are the Differences and Concerns?

: 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.
