Pre-requisite

To learn the BCM planning methodology effectively, you are strongly encouraged to attend the BCM-310 Assessing Risk and Business Impact Requirements course before attempting the BCM-320 and BCM-330 courses. Without understanding Risk Assessment and Business Impact Analysis learned during the BCM-310 course, you may have difficulties developing strategies and writing a plan.

In-house Training

As organisations from Singapore and Malaysia embark on a BCM journey or review and update their existing BCM programs, you may want to consider organizing this series of WSQ BCM programs within your organization to build competency and update your content.

Our instructors are not only ACTA-qualified or HRD Corp Accredited Trainers but also have a minimum of 15 to 25 years of BCM implementation experience; this allows you to deploy your templates to be completed as part of the class assignment.

Bridging Over to Certification Program

Participants who complete all three parts of the competency-based WSQ BCM series (with Statement of Attainment) may transfer to the BCM Institute's professional program. It is important to note that this bridging program is not part of the SSG program or requirement; it is an independent choice by the participant.

Participants can approach the institute to sit for the Business Continuity Certified Specialist (BCCS) certification qualifying examination.  This will enable you to achieve the internationally recognized Business Continuity Certified Specialist (BCCS) certification once you pass the Qualifying BCCS exams.

There will be an SGD 200 Qualifying BCCS examination fee.

BCM Certification

 BC Certified Specialist (BCCS) certification is awarded to participants who complete the three-part series, pass the Qualifying BCCS examination, send in an application detailing at least one year of BC experience, pay the application processing fee of SGD 75, and satisfy and meet the experience requirements of the independent certification body.
