Practitioner Certificate in Business Continuity Management (PCBCM) - what to expect
5 Day Residential Course
In line with the requirements of BCS/ISEB, 42 hours of business continuity management training are provided by URM during the five days of the course.
The Practitioner Certificate in Business Continuity Management (PCBCM) training course contains a significant proportion of practical hands on exercises designed to build on the taught component of the module and to encourage debate and sharing of knowledge and experience between delegates. URM trainers are all highly experienced business continuity management specialists who call upon their practical knowledge to bring a real-world perspective to the classroom.
Course Material
Delegates who attend URM's PCBCM training course will receive a training pack containing copies of all course slides. With each slide URM's consultants have supplied supporting notes (approved by the BCS ISEB) that act both as a useful revision tool for the ISEB examination and a reference library after the course. The training pack will also include a full set of practical exercises which delegates will complete through the week's course.
Examination
The PCBCM examination is a three hour paper and comprises of two sections. The first section contains ten multi-choice questions and six short answer questions. The second section involves answering three scenario based questions. The examination takes place at ISEB's offices in London approximately every four months. Delegates need to achieve a pass mark of 65% overall and in section one too to gain the qualification.
Training Venue
A dedicated residential training centre in Bedfordshire is used for all information security, business continuity and information risk management training courses. URM believes that this type of venue provides the ideal distraction-free environment for an intensive and stimulating learning experience. Ideas and thoughts can be shared, not only with course trainers, but with other like-minded business continuity management professionals during classroom time and outside hours whilst socialising in relaxed surroundings.
