Every document comes as a blank template and as a completed version for one fictional company. You learn implementation by following a real-life scenario from the first scope statement to management review.

The toolkit provides implementation aids and editable templates. Your organization must tailor, approve and implement them. Use of the toolkit does not itself guarantee ISO 22301 conformity or certification.
The reconn ISO 22301 Lead Implementer Mind Map is reconn's own mind map and quick review of the important topics in a business continuity management system. It is delivered as a PDF.
eLearning learners receive the mind map after enrollment. Live online learners receive it during the live sessions.
The mind map is licensed to one user and is for PECB candidates only. Please do not share, copy or resell it.
The mind map is a study aid. It does not guarantee any exam result.
You do not just listen. In each session you work through the documents a real BCMS needs and discuss how they are used inside organizations.
The toolkit's fictional company takes you from the first scope statement to management review, so you see how each document leads to the next.
Bring your own context. Your trainer helps you adapt the templates to your sector, size and risks.
Use your completed documents, talking points and implementation case study to show employers what you can do.
Shenoy Sandeep, founder of reconn and a PECB Certified Trainer, teaches the course and manages the reconn GRC consultant team.
Because you learn 1-on-1 or in a small batch, your questions get real answers, not a promise to follow up later.
