APPENDIX C: PANDEMIC TRAINING

In conjunction with Meirc Training & Consulting, I am delighted to offer both virtual learning and classroom courses in:

Business continuity and crisis management during pandemic threats:

This course will provide participants with a full understanding of the threats and issues that are synonymous with pandemics. It takes into account both the business and human aspects of this threat, and does not just consider businesses in isolation, but as part of a greater supply chain.

Participants will learn how to evaluate and deliver the content of a pandemic plan for their organizations. No prior knowledge of pandemics is required.

Organizations that are unprepared to face the inevitability of a pandemic are at risk. A pandemic is far more than just about absenteeism caused by illness. In fact, it presents organizations with a multi-faceted threat capable of affecting just about every aspect of their business and crippling their operational ability. Even organizations located in parts of the world that have not been directly affected by a contagion, may still find supply chain failures that become major issues.

In addition, I am also pleased to be working with Meirc Training & Consulting to provide virtual and classroom courses in:

• Certified Crisis Management Professional

• Certificate in IT Disaster Recovery Planning
