This page aims to assist you in clarifying further doubts you have about attending the OR-5000 Blended Learning [BL-0R-5] Course.
Should I attend OR-300 or OR-5000?
If you are exploring to understand the fundamentals of operational resilience, this is the course to attend.
However, if you are designated as part of the OR project or program team, proceed to attend the OR-5000 course. The OR Expert Implementer or OR-5000 course will provide the participants with a complete framework to plan for the OR initiative, implement the OR program, and sustain the OR program.
For our colleagues operating in financial institutions, OR-5000 should be your pre-requisite.
What is included in the course fee?
When you are attending the course, the fee of Singapore Dollar (SGD) 3,850 includes:
During the course:
- Access to the complete set of soft copy templates.
- Note that hard copies of the templates are only provided for a classroom-based course.
After the course:
- The award of an ORCP e-certificate (upon completion of module 4 and passing the examination conducted at the end of the course)
- Review of assessments
- ORCE application processing fees
However, the ORCE application must be completed within three months from the notification of passing the OR-5000 course.
An application processing fee of SGD 150 will be payable for the application for ORCE certification. Please opt for processing fees to be included as part of the invoice if you are applying for the specific certification.
Do I have to complete Module 1 first before joining the rest of the Modules?
- Yes. Modules 1 and 2 are compulsory as they form the initial assessment for the "grounding" of operational resilience knowledge.
- Once you have completed Module 1, you will attend Module 2, 3 and 4.
- The successful completion of the course will allow the participants to be awarded the "Operational Resilience Certified Planner" certification.
- The participant will apply for their ORCS or ORCE based on their relevant experience with Operational Resilience or related experiences, such as business continuity management, crisis management, IT disaster recovery or cybersecurity.
