##### Operational Resilience Audit Series
# \[BL-HL-ORA-5\] What is an OR Audit Expert Blended or Hybrid Learning Course?
The Operational Resilience (OR) Audit blended learning course is the most advanced level of OR audit training and certification course tailored for financial, IT, internal and external auditors.
After more than three years of running online BCM audit courses, this latest OR audit course is even more comprehensive than the traditional brick-and-mortar onsite course due to the comprehensive pre-course work and readings, which allow the workshops for learning amongst classmates and the many facilitators. However, you may be able to attend Module 3 and Module 4 as an onsite with a face-to-face facilitator and fellow participants.
You are now viewing an advanced-level Operational Resilience (OR) Audit Specialist/ Expert course requiring you to be grounded in OR fundamentals before understanding the OR audit concepts (as a financial, IT or ISO auditor).

#### Overview of ORA-5000 Blended \[BL\] or Hybrid Learning \[HL\] Course \[ORA-5\]
The Operational Resilience (OR) Audit blended learning is the most advanced level of OR audit training for certification, financial, IT internal and external auditors.
This comprehensive course is equivalent to the international certification of an Operational Resilience (OR) Auditor. Its combination of online interaction allows busy and interested auditors to study with minimal schedule disruption.
This course is NOT a four-day, hour-by-hour direct conversion course from its brick-and-mortar version but revamped with several guiding principles.
- Complete the course by developing the relevant toolkits for the entire auditing process.
- Built with OR knowledge, followed by the integration of OR auditing concepts.
- Provide participants with downloadable handbooks and the latest OR audit program based on the latest global regulatory update.
- Access to additional audit readings for those who are already experienced
- Facilitated by experienced IT/Financial and also OR implementer/auditors
- Able to conduct the audit via an electronic platform without travelling to another country or state.

#### What are the Differences and Concerns?
**[](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/3893111/e0c035b8-e40d-4450-9b72-fa62071e136d)**The primary concern with blended learning is that it will be another E-Learning training over a video channel.
The entire process is designed such that the content will provide the same outcome with pre-readings provided before the class, preparation of assignments supported by detailed guidance notes, eLearning for learning of fundamentals, and the online "face-to-face" is for sharing and elaboration by experienced facilitators.
**Instructors**: Note that instructors delivering the modules remain the same as the onsite training. They have at least 5 to 30 years of OR and audit-related experience.
**International Participation**: Another significant change will be the participation of more international delegates compared to the traditional majority of Asian participants. Be expected to discuss and work as teams from around the world.
**Readings**: Be expected to have more pre-readings 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 sharing experiences with the participants and facilitators.
**Live Audit**: Despite being virtual, there is a balance between knowledge-based acquisition activities, presentations, discussions, exercises and case studies. About two-thirds of the time is spent on activity-based learning. A live audit will be conducted.
This is the course schedule. Click the "ORA-5000 Course Schedule" icon to learn more about the "RUNs" for the year.
Blended Learning is entirely online, Hybrid Learning is Module 1 and 2 online, and Module 3 and 4 onsite.
