Introduce Course Name and Code

Objective

This blog provides an understanding of how you identify the "course code" and "course name" of the course you are facilitating.

Day (Onsite) Vs Module (BL) Vs Hybrid

Day: Before we start, you must know what course you are facilitating.  We seldom use the word "Day 1" or "Day 2" now except for the brick-and-mortar or onsite training course. 

Module: The reason is that a 1-day course is now renamed "Module" and because we do not intend to teach for one entire day of online video training.  Each module will have two sessions (the equivalent of morning and afternoon sessions). 

Each session is expected to have a maximum of a 3-hour duration unless you are expressly informed of the change in the duration.  Hence, please note (or check your schedule on your course calendar).

Hybrid: Starting in 2023, there will be an online hybrid course for Modules 1 and 2, followed by Onsite Modules 3 and 4.

Types of Course

This is a simple illustration of the entire  Crisis Management course.

These are the acronyms for the course.  So for Business Continuity Management will be "B", crisis communication will be "CC", IT Disaster Recovery will be "DR", and "Audit" will be "A."

Crisis Management (CM)

When you are teaching the 5000 level course, the course is broken down into "Implementer", which used to be the "300 level" course and "Manager", which is the "400 level" course. The combined course "300 plus 400" will be the "5000 levels" course or the "Expert Implementer."

For our audit instructor, I do not think the Lead Auditor or BCM-8530 is equivalent to a 5000-level course.  The Auditor course, or BCM-8030, is a 300-level course for administrative reasons.
