Advanced Business Continuity Management Certification Course.

The next step after the CBCI. This course is for professionals who want to move from foundation knowledge to assessing what an organisation needs and leading continuity across it.

Advanced certification ABCM

Advanced Business Continuity Management Certification (ABCM)

The ABCM builds on the CBCI and sits above it in the BCI certification pathway. It develops your ability to assess and determine business continuity requirements, and brings together leadership and management skills with the technical practices needed to put continuity in place across an organisation. It is recommended for professionals who have passed the CBCI exam. For other entry requirements, candidates should contact the BCI Learning Team.

The certification is aligned to the competencies expected at Associate Member of the BCI (AMBCI) level, so achieving it allows you to apply directly for AMBCI membership.

Six Professional Practices.

The Good Practice Guidelines (GPG) 7.0 is the BCI’s global guide to good practice in business continuity. It is now reviewed every year to keep pace with the changing practices of the industry, and it is centred on a Business Continuity Management System, replacing the older lifecycle wording, with strong links to ISO 22301:2019. The GPG is organised in six Professional Practices, two management and four technical, which structure the development of a Business Continuity Management System.
