Business Continuity Planning

About this course

A Business Continuity Plan is a collection of policies, procedures, protocols and information that is developed, compiled and maintained in readiness for use in the event of a business interruption.

Companies that have a strong continuity program in place and train staff in understanding the program can realise a number of benefits, from getting the business up and running as soon as possible to supporting staff health and wellbeing.

This course provides practical guidance on identifying critical services, assessing business impacts and developing effective business continuity plans.

How it is delivered

• Structured learning Designed for learners who are new to the topic or want a comprehensive overview. The course explores the subject in detail and typically takes 35–40 minutes to complete.

Two ways to run it

• Your policies, your scenarios

  We rebuild “Business Continuity Planning” around how your organisation actually works, so the training changes behaviour instead of recording completions.

  Build a custom version

• Ready to run as it is

  Deploy the course off the shelf, with light branding if you want it. Delivered with our partner Safetrac, who will contact you directly.

  Deploy off the shelf

Either way, you can run it through our compliance platform or take it as a SCORM package for the LMS you already have.

What it costs

Off-the-shelf pricing starts at $4,000 a year for up to ten courses with your logo and colours applied, rising with how much you want changed. The tiers are the same across the catalogue, so they are set out once on the pricing page rather than repeated on all 101 courses.

If what you actually need is your own scenarios and your own policies rather than a reskin, that is a custom build, and it is the work Hungry Minds does.
