What is OR Competency Level (CL)?

Competency Building Blocks

The Competency Level (CL) is a set of building blocks for BCM Institute's training and certification requirements. Each subject domain is broken into three distinct levels: Foundation (CL 1), Intermediate (CL 2) and Advanced (CL 3). The breakdown for each domain is as follows:

• CL 1 OR, CL 2 OR and CL 3 OR for operational resilience domain;
• CL 1 ORA, CL 2 ORA and CL 3 ORA for operational resilience audit domain;

The arrangement of the tiers represents the increasing specificity and specialization of the Operational Resilience (OR)', and Operational Resilience Audit (ORA) skills and knowledge content.
