PECB Certified Lead Disaster Recovery Manager

PECB Certified Lead Disaster Recovery Manager When systems go down, a plan on paper isn't enough — you need one that's been tested. Natural, human, and technological disasters don't wait for you to be ready. When ICT services fail, the gap between a controlled recovery and prolonged downtime comes down to one thing: whether you built and rehearsed a real disaster recovery plan before you needed it. This course gives you the competence to establish, implement, and maintain a full ICT disaster recovery management framework — from initiating the planning process, through business impact analysis and risk assessment, to activating the plan and running the post-recovery review. You'll work through recovery strategies, testing and exercises, damage assessment, and containment the way they actually play out under pressure — not just as exam theory. On completion and after passing the exam, you can apply for the PECB Certified Lead Disaster Recovery Manager credential, demonstrating your ability to support and lead disaster recovery teams.

Who this is for This course is built for people who own recovery when it counts: individuals responsible for establishing and maintaining an organization's ICT disaster recovery plan, those implementing and testing recovery strategies, and professionals or consultants who need to run risk assessments and business impact analyses. It's equally relevant if you carry out DR testing and performance measurement, maintain IT infrastructure, or sit on a disaster recovery team. No formal prerequisite beyond a general working knowledge of disaster recovery concepts and strategies. What you'll be able to do By the end of the course, you'll be able to explain the fundamental concepts of disaster recovery and its tiers, initiate the disaster recovery planning process, develop a full disaster recovery plan, implement and test recovery strategies, and activate the DRP and conduct a post-response review.
