Types of Courses That You Can Attend
If you look further you will notice that our courses are divided into three competency levels: Know-Do-Manage.
If you had previously attended a BCM Institute's course, you would have experienced results in an upgrading or an enhancement of your capability to manage a crisis, of which crisis communication is an essential component. So, these courses are best suited for BCM (CM and IT DR) practitioners. The courses are:
- CC-300: Crisis Communication Implementer [Competency Level: Know-Do]
- CC-400: Crisis Communication Manager [Competency Level: Manage]
- CC-5000: Crisis Communication Expert Implementer [Competency Level: Know-Do-Manage]
You may have noticed that CC-200 or Crisis Communication Planner [Competency Level: Know] is mentioned in the table and yet there is no reference or URL link to it. The reason is that if you are attending a classroom course, it is only offered as part of a 2-day course and it is conducted as part of Day 1 of the CC-300 Crisis Communication Implementer course. However CC-200 course is only available to locations whereby BCM institute is not represented, as it is available as an e-learning course with effect from 1st Jun 2019.
