FAQ on ORA-300 OR Audit Specialist [ORA-3] Course

Welcome to the frequently asked questions or FAQ for BCM Institute's ORA-300 Blended Learning course.

Should I attend ORA-300 or ORA-5000?

This is the course to attend if you are exploring to understand operational resilience audit.

However, if you are designated as part of the ORA audit team, proceed to attend the ORA-5000 course.  The OR Audit Expert or ORA-5000 course will provide the participants with a complete framework to plan for the ORA initiative, implement the ORA program, and sustain the ORA 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) 2,400 includes:

During the course:

  • 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 2 and passing the examination conducted at the end of the course)
• Review of assessments
• ORCS application processing fees

However, the ORAS application must be completed within three months from the notification of passing the ORA-300 course.

An application processing fee of SGD 75 will be payable for the application for ORAS certification.  Please opt for processing fees included in the invoice if you are applying for the specific certification.
