BC Training offers classroom and live online training courses, as well as bespoke in-house courses to meet any specific requirements that clients may have. Our live online courses have been adapted to suit training on an online platform and all our tutors bring their own experience and knowledge to the courses they deliver.

Variety

We believe in more than just theory-based learning. We like to vary the learning experience by working through exercises and providing the opportunity to interact with the other delegates on the course. In doing so, delegates can gain knowledge and share some of their experiences in the field of business continuity. This also provides a good opportunity for networking. Our live online training courses have been made as interactive as possible and may also include the use of quizzes and polls, as well as group work.
