Crisis Communication Courses 

Crisis Communication (CC) is often confused with crisis management (CM).  For those who have attended the institute’s CM certification courses, you begin to notice that organisations need to increase their preparedness to manage a disaster and a crisis.  Crisis includes physical threats and incidents that affect the organisation's reputation even though you still have access to your organisation.  With the advent of social media and real-time updates, CC professionals and senior management need to be aware of Crisis Communication, and these courses are a basic necessity for any senior management team member’s responsibilities. Noting that not everyone has the same level of interest, experience, and job scope, CC Institute has designed various Crisis Communication courses to cater to their unique backgrounds.

Courses are available as entirely online and hybrid and are divided into three levels of competencies:

 

1 KNOW 2 DO 3 MANAGE

At the end of each course, participants would be assessed through assessments or examinations to ascertain his/her level of competency. They can look forward to receiving  either an

  • Internationally recognised Crisis Communication (CC) certification through any of our CC certification courses or
  • Singapore’s WSQ Statement of Attainment can be found through any of our Crisis Communication (CC) competency-level courses.

So, which level would be best for you? Perhaps the table below might help.
