About this class

90% of businesses without a recovery plan fail within a year after a disaster. The ISO 22301 Lead Implementer Training Course helps you prevent that. Designed by PECB, this course provides professionals with the skills to build and manage a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) aligned with ISO 22301.

No two disasters cause the same damage. From natural catastrophes to cybersecurity breaches, being unprepared puts your organization’s future at risk. With the ISO 22301 Lead Implementer Training Course, you’ll learn to mitigate risks, reduce downtime, and keep operations running, ensuring your customers’ needs continue to be met even during disruptive events.

Upon completing the course and passing the exam, you can apply for the globally recognized PECB Certified ISO 22301 Lead Implementer credential.
