About Course

Business continuity planning helps a small team decide what must keep working when normal arrangements are disrupted. Learn to identify critical activities, dependencies, communication needs, and recovery priorities. The course provides a manageable planning approach that can be reviewed with relevant specialists and tested through discussion exercises.

Follow a beginner-friendly path through five modules and 15 lesson outlines. Each lesson identifies three focused study topics, helping you connect the ideas to practical decisions in your own setting.

Course Project: Create a small-team continuity plan with critical activities, dependencies, communication roles, backup arrangements, and a tabletop exercise.

Scope of This Course: This awareness course does not replace site-specific training, licensed professional advice, emergency services, or legally required certification. Practical system changes and response actions require appropriate authorization.
