Professional Track
Business Continuity Manager Track
Develop the capability to implement, manage and continuously improve an effective Business Continuity Management System aligned with ISO 22301
Overview
The Business Continuity Manager Track is designed for professionals who are responsible for establishing and running a Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) in their organisation. Rather than treating business continuity as a set of emergency plans or one-off preparedness activities, the programme covers the full management system lifecycle: from understanding organisational priorities and disruption risks through to preparedness, response capability, performance evaluation and continual improvement.

Modular system
Reuse of modules across tracks
Previously completed modules are recognized, avoiding duplication when pursuing additional Halderstone tracks.
If you later decide to extend your competence to additional domains and ISO standards, you can earn additional manager credentials without repeating the common core. This allows you to build an integrated competence profile step by step with limited additional effort.
Two credentials with one track
Both credentials are awarded without expiry.
Registered credentials
In addition, track graduates can apply for a Registered credential for this role and discipline. It confirms capability in practice and ensures it remains current over time. Registered credentials require verified professional experience and periodic reassessment.
