[OR-4] What is an OR-400 Operational Resilience Manager Course?

Overview of OR-400 Operational Resilience Manager Course

BCM Institute’s OR-400 course is divided into two modules over four weeks. Note that this course is Module 3 and Module 4 of the OR-400 Operational Resilience Expert Implementer course or the OR-5000 course.

Please be informed that you must complete the OR-300 OR Planner course or BL-OR-3 before starting the OR-400 course.

This protracted time frame for this blended learning course 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 are of the same standard and rigour as our onsite classes.

You will learn the same syllabus and be taught by the same industry practitioners as you would onsite. The same practitioner will be available to you during the scheduled online classes.

Below is a snapshot of what you can expect from the programme. It is divided into the respective modules, 3 to 4.  Find out each module's syllabus by clicking any of the four [Course Content] buttons.  The content has been carefully crafted to ensure that your participation and outcome match each day of the OR-5000 Operational Resilience Expert Implementer competency level.  Click any of the four buttons [Course Requirement] to learn more about your participation and involvement in this course.

The course fee is SGD 2,400 for 100% online and SGD 2,700 for onsite, payable before the class starts. 

Is there a pre-requisite before joining the 0R-400 course?

Yes. Those who have completed the pre-requisite 0R-300 Operational Resilience Implementer course can attend this follow-up course.

After completing the OR-400 and passing the (ORCE) online exam, you can apply for the ORCE certificate by sending in an application detailing at least three years of BC/OR experience, paying the application processing fee of SGD 150, and satisfying and meeting the experience requirements of the independent certification body.

What are the Differences and Concerns?

Concerns: The major problem with blended learning is that it will be another eLearning training over a video channel. The entire process is designed so that the content will provide the same outcome.

Instructors: Note that instructors delivering the modules will remain the same as those providing the onsite training.

International Participation: Another significant change will be the participation of more international delegates than the traditional majority of Asian participants. Participants will be expected to discuss and work as teams worldwide.

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