Business Continuity is a serious issue for all organizations and its management should be an essential element of the entire business. The ability for an organization to maintain its critical operations during and following a disruption, as well as the speed at which it is able to re-establish its full functionality, can be the difference between success and failure.

The need for a standard based on industry Business Continuity Management (BCM) best practice has been eagerly anticipated and the publication of BS 25999 by BSI provides a common framework for BCM. This one-day course will provide participants with an understanding of BS 25999 Part One, the new BCM Code of Practice standard. The interactive course style, which includes practical exercises and outputs, will help delegates to understand the implications of BS 25999 for their organization.

The course is aimed at Business Continuity practitioners with practical experience of implementing Business Continuity as well as non-Business Continuity practitioners who need to understand the implications of BS 25999 for their organisation.

Bring the best business continuity management to your organisation with our Implementing BS 25999/ISO 22301 training course and be confident that your organisation is prepared for the unexpected.

Any organisation in any sector can be impacted by extreme weather conditions, terrorism, IT system failure, staff sickness and many more unplanned incidents that can bring business to a standstill. Our business continuity experts guide you through the two day course in planning , implementing and maintaining a business continuity management system so you can minimise the risk of disruptions to your business and ensure you can operate in challenging circumstances. 

In 2012 BS 25999 will be superseded by a new international standard, ISO 22301. Delegates who are booked onto the Implementing BS 25999 training course will automatically be registered for the Implementing ISO 2230:2012 training course on the same dates.
