Lead Disaster Recovery Manager – Self-Study
About the course
Why should you take this training course?
Natural, human, or technological disasters can all have a significant impact on an organisation’s ability to achieve its goals. Organisations’ operations are jeopardised when they cannot adequately respond to or recover from the disaster. That is why organisations should focus on developing capacities to prevent, anticipate, manage, and recover from disasters. This is done through well-planned and tested disaster recovery plans (DRP).
The Certified Lead Disaster Recovery Manager training course is a four-day course designed to help you gain the expertise needed to assist your organisation in that very goal.
