EDUCATION

DRI CANADA’s ongoing dedication to providing industry-leading training in the field of Continuity Management has helped establish our world-class reputation. But we’re not about to sit back on our laurels now. Especially in today’s tenuous economy, the need for timely, relevant, cutting-edge course content is paramount; not only to your success, but to your organization’s survival.

Our tier one instructors, who are in-demand professionals, with a talent for sharing hands-on experience in a timely and relevant manner, ensures that DRI CANADA’s courses meet the needs of business continuity management professionals today; as will our new course offerings into the future.

CERTIFICATION

This is the official and highly respected “proof” of the successful absorption, comprehension and more importantly, the ability to plan, strategize and apply DRI CANADA’s Business Continuity Management concepts.

Certification designations earned through DRI CANADA, a member of the DRI International family, provides worldwide recognition of your accomplishments and achievements in the business continuity management profession. No other certification is recognized on such a Large Scale.
