No. The Certificate of Completion is a training certificate: it shows that one person completed Business Impact Analysis & Continuity Exercises and reached the pass mark in its final exam. ISO/TS 22317 and ISO 22398 are guidance documents, not standards organisations are certified to, and Sterling does not certify organisations. An organisation is certified to ISO 22301 by an independent certification body after that body's own audit.
