CBCI Membership Essentials:
How long is my CBCI certification valid for?
Your CBCI certification is valid for three years from the date you pass the CBCI Exam.
Does the CBCI Exam fee include membership?
Yes. Passing the CBCI Exam includes one year of complimentary CBCI Membership, giving you access to the benefits and professional recognition associated with the grade.
What happens after my first year of membership?
To continue using the CBCI post-nominals and retain your membership, you'll need to renew your annual membership subscription.
What is the next step after CBCI?
CBCI is designed to help you build strong foundations in business continuity and resilience. As your experience and expertise grow, you can progress to AMBCI or MBCI, demonstrating your professional development and commitment to the profession.
What happens if I don't progress to AMBCI or MBCI?
If your CBCI certification expires and you do not upgrade to a higher membership grade, your membership will move to Affiliate status. You can still apply for AMBCI or MBCI at a later stage when you're ready to take the next step in your professional journey.
