Business continuity training for 2014

ContinuitySA has announced its training programme for the first six months of 2014. Business continuity is the increasingly important science of keeping a business operational through all types of severe incidents and crises. The new Companies Act and King III make it the board’s responsibility to ensure that the company has appropriate risk mitigation strategies in place, and can continue to operate when a crisis occurs.

In parallel with this greater regulatory focus on business continuity, bodies like the International Standards Organization (ISO) and the Business Continuity Institute (BCI) have issued standards to help companies establish adequate business continuity management programmes.

ContinuitySA’s training provides guidance on how to develop, implement and manage an effective business continuity management programme and system, based on international standards. All the courses are offered through the company’s Complete Continuity Training Academy.

Among the Academy’s offerings is a customised two-hour Business Continuity Management Programme, aimed at giving executives high-level awareness of business continuity and the issues for which they as executives will need to be accountable and responsible. A more detailed two-day course introduces these concepts in more detail for middle managers and business continuity plan owners.

The two-day ICT Continuity Training is aimed at the CIO and relevant IT professionals responsible for the continuity of ICT services within their organisations, while the five-day Complete Continuity Practitioner Programme is designed to equip business continuity practitioners in all aspects of implementing, managing and maintaining an effective programme for business continuity management.

Customised courses are compiled in consultation with ContinuitySA’s Business Continuity Management Advisory Services to ensure that they deliver what is required, and are aligned with the client’s operational context.
