Course Catalogue

Based on the course you have just enquired about specifically for the SkillsFuture funding (Non-WSQ), what additional questions may you ask?

Why Am I only Awarded the Planner-level certification after completing the advanced-level course and passing the expert-level qualifying examination?

Besides completing the payment to BCM Institute, the other condition for the claim of the SkillsFuture funding to take place is to be awarded the Planner or level certification.

Hence, you would get a "Planner" certification once you pass the Qualifying Examination attached to the courses.

Meanwhile, as you have successfully completed expert-level training and passed the exam, you can apply for higher certification concerning your prior related experience.

What Do I Need to Do to Get the SkillsFuture Funding?

1. Make the payment according to the invoice issued after funding *.
2. Attend 75% of the course.
3. Pass the accompanying qualifying exam and be awarded the Business Continuity Certified Planner (BCCP) certification.
4. Funding only applies to this course's 100% online or Blended Learning version.

Please provide your Identification Number and Birthdate to facilitate the registration process.  Note that we need your permission from you based on the PDPA requirement.

 

What If I Fail the Examination?

 

If you did not meet the 75% passing requirement for the examination, you would be provided one complimentary re-examination to be attempted within 30 days of your first exam.

 

Within that time, our certification department will assist you by providing you with which of the seven body of knowledge or BoK you are weak at. 

Subsequent attempts after 2nd examination would be payable at SGD 250 per try. The exam is now e-Protored via ZOOM.

 

 

Based on our track record running this course for more than a decade, do note that it is rare that we have participants who fail in their 2nd attempt if they spent the time paying attention and studying the handbook and electronic information provided on our electronic Wikipedia.
