In-house Training

As Singapore is opening to 75% of staff members coming back to work due to COVID-19, and as your organization is embarking on a BCM journey or reviewing and updating your existing BCM program, you may want to consider organizing this WSQ program within your organization for both competency building and updating of your content.

Our instructors are not only ACTA-qualified or HRD Corp Accredited Trainers but also have a minimum of 5 to 15 years of BCM implementation experience. This allows you to deploy your own templates to be completed as part of the class assignment.

Bridging Over to Certification Program

Participants who complete all three-part of the competency-based WSQ BCM series (with Statement of Attainment) may opt to bridge themselves over 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 as it is an independent choice by the participant.

The participant 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 have passed 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 successfully completed the three-part series, passed the Qualifying BCCS examination, sends in an application detailing at least 1 year of BC experience, make the application processing fee payment of SGD 75, and satisfied and meets the experience requirements of the independent certification body.
