CBCI is the first recognised milestone in your resilience career. It demonstrates your understanding of industry good practice and your commitment to developing professionally.

Whether you're starting in business continuity and resilience or looking to formalise your existing knowledge, CBCI helps you build a strong foundation that you can apply in your role and build on throughout your career. As part of a global professional community, you'll gain recognition for your expertise and access ongoing opportunities to continue learning and developing.

Why CBCI?

You want more than knowledge. You want the confidence that comes from understanding recognised good practice and the credibility that comes from demonstrating it.

CBCI gives you a solid foundation in business continuity and resilience, helping you develop professionally, strengthen your career prospects and prepare for future progression.

Is CBCI right for you?

You're building your understanding of business continuity and resilience and want to establish strong foundations in recognised good practice. Whether you're entering the profession, changing career, or formalising your existing knowledge, CBCI helps you gain the expertise and credibility to move forward with confidence.

What are the benefits for CBCI Members?

Being part of a globally recognised institute of like-minded professionals is inspiring. It gives me access to relevant resources, which I can share with the rest of the organisation to advance the concepts of resilience and business continuity.

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.
