Lead Disaster Recovery Manager Training

Course Overview

Disasters caused by natural, human, or technological hazards can disrupt an organization's ability to achieve its objectives when response capabilities are insufficient.

The PECB Certified Lead Disaster Recovery Manager training course equips participants with the knowledge to understand core disaster recovery concepts, initiate and develop DRPs, implement and test recovery strategies, activate response actions, and perform post-incident reviews. The course also introduces the application of risk assessment and business impact analysis (BIA) to support recovery planning. After attending the course, you can take the exam and apply for the "PECB Certified Lead Disaster Recovery Manager" credential.
