Comparison Between CM WSQ Competency-based Vs Non-WSQ Training

Competency Vs Certification Route

You may have just completed reading "What is a Certification vs Competency-based Course?" and would like to know the detailed comparison between Crisis Management (CM) WSQ competency-based training and the CM certification course offered by BCM Institute. But what are the differences between these two tracks, and which should you attend?

Because of the introduction of competency-based training, we were often asked about the possibility of getting into BCM Institute's certification program. We will need to emphasise that the competency-based training funding by SkillFuture Singapore is independent of our certification program. However, upon completion of the competency-based training and if you are still keen on pursuing our certification program, there is a "bridging" route for you.

There are 2 ‘routes’ to getting your advanced level CM certification or Crisis Management Certified Expert (CMCE) certification. One will be via the competency track, and another will be the certification track. But what are the differences between these two tracks, and which should you attend?

The main differences that may affect your decision to follow either of the tracks will probably be course duration and the course fee. The comparison below could give you a better picture of the best track you should be on if you aim for CMCE Certification.
