Program Highlights
This program is the only one of its kind in Ontario. Our three-semester Emergency Management and Business Continuity program is ideally suited for working professionals and those interested in pursuing a new career in a dynamic and growing field. The program’s flexible delivery model, both online and in-person, means you can continue to work while pursuing advanced training.

You'll attend in-class experiential weekend sessions three times each semester at The Loomex Group (located at the Peterborough Airport), while the balance of course work is completed online. You will also put your skills to the test in a culminating applied project where you will develop and facilitate an Emergency Response Plan or Business Continuity Plan for a public or private organization.

Emergency Management and Business Continuity professionals are trained to prepare for loss of critical business functions. This can result from cyber-attack, data breaches, supply chain disruption, security incidents or natural disasters such as wildfires, flooding, pandemics, hazardous chemical spills, and other disasters that endanger the health, and the survivability of public and private organizations.

This program provides you with historical context while instilling a solid understanding of governance, legislation, and best practices. You will engage in emergency exercises, learning at an Emergency Operations Centre and a Site Command Centre.
