Become a Certified Business Continuity SpecialistTo secure a 100% Grant for the CBCS Certification Training and Exam, you must meet the certification eligibility criteria and submit the form below.
1. Certification Eligibility:
- Possess a minimum of 3 years of work experience in business continuity, resiliency, disaster recovery or Corporate Security roles.
2. Certification Maintenance:
It's important to note that all certification programs of CorpSecurity International or LYL BCM require Certification Maintenance. This is a vital step to staying current with industry best practices. Certification maintenance involves paying the AMF (Annual Maintenance Fee) and earning CPE (Continuing Professional Education) credits annually. The AMF is a mandatory requirement for all certification holders, regardless of whether they have fully paid for their training and exam or received scholarship grants. Non-compliance with these requirements may result in the suspension of your certification.
After passing the exam, fill out the certification application form. Pay your first Annual Maintenance Fee (AMF) of 75 USD to finalize your certification.

AMF Benefits:
We’re excited to share some important updates that will make maintaining your certification easier and more rewarding than ever before.
As part of our commitment to better support you, we’ve made a significant change to the way certification maintenance works. The annual maintenance fee (AMF) model now fully replaces the previous recertification fees, which were required every three years for each certification. With this change, you no longer need to pay separate fees for recertification or membership—all you need to do is pay the AMF (AMF-1 or AMF-2, depending on the level and number of certifications you hold).
Why is this change beneficial for you?
- No More Recertification Fees
- You no longer need to worry about paying a hefty recertification fee every three years. The AMF now covers all your certification renewal needs, simplifying the process and saving you money in the long run.
