The relationship between courses, examination and certifications

Access to DRI certifications occurs after passing a certification exam, taken at the end of DRI courses.

The courses, whether in intensive or in-depth format, lead to the same certification exam, regardless of the length of the training.

Passing the examination enables the candidate to apply for the most appropriate certification, depending on his or her professional experience and requirements.

Certifications are therefore not associated with a single course, but represent formal recognition of skills gained through training and experience.

An international professional recognition

DRI certifications are internationally recognized and are a reference for professionals working in complex or regulated environments.

Maintenance of certification includes requirements for continuous updating, ensuring the quality and timeliness of certified skills.

Certifications in Business Continuity Management

In the field of Business Continuity Management, DRI certifications provide evidence of different levels of professional experience, including:

  • ABCP – Associate Business Continuity Professional

  • CBCV – Certified Business Continuity Vendor

  • CBCP – Certified Business Continuity Professional

  • MBCP – Master Business Continuity Professional (requires additional coursework and examination)

The certification obtainable depends on the candidate’s professional experience and not on the type of course taken. See below for further details.

Certifications in Cyber Resilience

In the field of Cyber Resilience, DRI International issues specific certifications attesting to expertise in managing cyber impacts on business continuity, including:

  • ACRP – Associate Cyber Resilience Professional

  • CCRP – Certified Cyber Resilience Professional

Again, the courses lead to the same certification exam, while the final certification depends on the candidate’s professional profile and experience.
