ISO 22361 provides guidelines for crisis management — how an organisation develops the capability to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from crises. It covers the crisis management framework (leadership, structure, culture, competence), crisis communications, and continual improvement of that capability.
No. ISO 22361 is a guidelines standard rather than a requirements standard — much like ISO 31000 — so there is no organisational certification against it. What exists is individual certification: the PECB Lead Crisis Manager credential attaches to you, not to your employer. If you need a certifiable management system for disruption, ISO 22301 for business continuity is the requirements standard.
Business continuity restores defined operations after a disruption you planned for, with recovery objectives set in advance. Crisis management handles situations that are novel, escalating, and often reputational as well as operational — where the task is to lead and decide under uncertainty rather than execute a plan. Many organisations run both, with ISO 22301 for continuity and ISO 22361 for crisis capability.
No. PECB Certified Lead Crisis Manager is offered as slide-based self-study only at $950 + GST.
It depends on attested experience. Provisional Crisis Manager requires none. Crisis Manager requires two years with one in crisis management plus at least 200 hours of activities. Lead Crisis Manager requires five years with two in crisis management plus 300 hours. Senior Lead Crisis Manager requires ten years with seven plus 1,000 hours. All require signing the PECB Code of Ethics.
Three hours across four competency domains: fundamental concepts and principles of crisis management; establishing the crisis management framework; crisis management prevention and preparedness; and crisis management response and recovery.
No. The course teaches crisis management from fundamentals. Prior continuity, incident response, or emergency management experience will help you contextualise the material, but none is a prerequisite.
