Associate Business Continuity Professional
To achieve ABCP certification, it is necessary to pass the exam that concludes all Intensive (BCP501) or In-depth (BCLE2000) Courses on Business Continuity Management.
The Associate Business Continuity Professional certification is intended for those who are new to our field. ABCP certification certifies the possession of basic skills and thus good knowledge of Business Continuity Management methodologies, even if one has not yet gained much experience in the field. Starting your career path in business continuity management through ABCP certification demonstrates the professional and structured approach to a career in business continuity.
The ABCP level is for people with less than two years of experience in the field but who have successfully passed the certification exam. Any certified professional holding active ABCP status may at any time upgrade to the higher CBCV, CBCP or MBCP certifications by providing evidence of satisfying the requirements.
Once you have passed the exam, if you wish to obtain ABCP certification, simply apply on the website www.drii.org and pay the one-off fee.

Certified Business Continuity Vendor
To achieve CBCV certification, you must pass the exam that concludes all Intensive (BCP501) or In-depth (BCLE2000) Courses on Business Continuity Management.
The CBCV certification was created for vendors who recognize the importance of business continuity and disaster recovery best practices-those who have the same level of commitment to the resilience profession as the clients they serve.
Holding a CBCV certification gives clients the confidence that you know exactly the problems they face on the job and that you know how to best meet their needs.
In our country, CBCV certification is widespread among service and product providers who participate in large national and international tenders.
CBCV certification can be applied for upon passing the exam directly at www.drii.org by paying a one-time fee. Certification requires payment of an annual fee to DRI but no certified educational activity points (CEAP) are required, so it is easy to maintain certification.

Master Business Continuity Professional
The Master Business Continuity Professional distinguishes those with superior knowledge and significant experience in our profession. Although extensive business continuity experience is required, in most cases these professionals possess much more than the required knowledge. These professionals possess a wide range of knowledge and lead their practices, departments or company with a high level of skill and expertise. Achieving an MBCP also allows one to earn the coveted distinction of membership in theOrder of the Sword and Shield National Honor Society, the only U.S. academic and professional honor society dedicated exclusively to the national security community.
The MBCP is DRI International’s highest level of certification and is reserved for individuals with significant knowledge and skills in business continuity and disaster recovery. To earn the MBCP, it is necessary to take a specific course and pass a dedicated 5-hour exam that requires discussion of all 10 Professional Practices. Passing the exam that completes the BCP501 and BCLE2000 courses is not sufficient.
Maintaining certification requires an ongoing commitment to continuing education and industry activities.
