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.
Here is a quick overview of the course, divided into modules 1 to 4. Module 1 to 4 and their relationship to the ORA-300-400-5000 level courses are explained.
The conduct of each module is described with the corresponding on-site learning outcome.
Below is a snapshot of what you can expect from the program. Each module's syllabus has been carefully crafted to ensure that the outcome matches each day of the ORA-5000 OR Auditor competency level.

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.
Blended Learning is entirely online, Hybrid Learning is Module 1 and 2 online, and Module 3 and 4 onsite.
BCM Institute offers two levels of OR auditing courses: ORA-3 Blended Learning ORA-300 Operational Resilience Audit Specialist and the ORA-5 Blended Learning ORA-5000 Operational Resilience Audit Expert.
