Preparing for the BCI Certificate Examination
The BCI Certificate Examination will test candidates working knowledge of the Good Practice Guidelines (GPG), which incorporates the BS25999, and other practical Business Continuity Management knowledge. It is recommended that exam preparation consist of a mutli-factor approach. While experienced practitioners may be able to pass the examination by self studying the GPG alone, other candidates are encouraged to seek out additional educational resources as detailed below.
Good Practice Guidelines
Written and compiled by BCI members, with these guidelines we aim to provide a generic framework for successful Business Continuity Management by providing an approach, which a BC practitioner can use to inform his/her own business programme.
The BCI Good Practice Guidelines are designed to provide assistance in understanding through the application of six Business Continuity Management stages. With these six principles, the process and terminology of Business Continuity Management is explained plus recommendations for good practice are provided.
