EC-Council Certified Disaster Recovery Professional (EDRP) Practice Tests

EC-Council's Disaster Recovery Professional course covers business continuity and disaster recovery in ten modules: foundations, business continuity management, risk assessment, business impact analysis, the business continuity plan, disaster recovery planning, data backup and system recovery, disaster recovery plan development, plan activation, and plan testing, training, and exercises. EC-Council does not publish percentage weights for these modules, so treat any site quoting exact weights with caution.

The exam has 150 multiple-choice questions and four hours. A voucher costs $450, and self-study candidates need two years of information-security experience plus a $100 non-refundable eligibility application; a retake voucher is $249. EC-Council sets cut scores per exam form and does not publish a score for this exam, so a fixed 70% is unconfirmed - the exact score appears in the exam portal. EC-Council currently lists v4 courseware while a v3 retake voucher is still sold, and the code 312-76 appears mostly on third-party sites, so confirm the version when you book.

Use these 623 questions to practise the order of the recovery lifecycle: assess risk, run a business impact analysis, set recovery objectives, choose strategies, write and activate the plan, then test it. Pay attention to how backup, replication, and recovery-site choices follow from the recovery objectives rather than the other way around.

The EC-Council Disaster Recovery Professional (EDRP) course teaches business continuity and disaster recovery across ten modules: foundations, business continuity management, risk assessment, business impact analysis, the business continuity plan, disaster recovery planning, data backup and system recovery, disaster recovery plan development, plan activation, and plan testing, training, and exercises.

The emphasis is on building and exercising a recovery capability from risk analysis through activation, not on a single vendor's tooling. EC-Council currently lists EDRP v4 courseware.

The EDRP is designed for IT and information security professionals who are responsible for—or transitioning into—business continuity and disaster recovery roles. Ideal candidates include network and systems administrators, firewall and security administrators, risk assessment professionals, IT infrastructure managers, and cybersecurity analysts who need to formalize their BC/DR knowledge with a vendor-neutral, globally recognized credential.

The certification is also well-suited for IT managers and project managers who oversee organizational resilience programs, as well as professionals in regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, and government who must demonstrate compliance with continuity standards. Candidates with at least a foundational understanding of IT infrastructure and information security will benefit most, though no strict prior certification is required.

There are no mandatory formal prerequisites to sit for the EDRP exam. However, EC-Council recommends that candidates have some practical experience in the IT BC/DR domain before attempting the certification. A working knowledge of IT infrastructure, basic information security concepts, and familiarity with organizational processes is strongly advised.

Candidates who have completed an official EC-Council course at an Accredited Training Center (ATC), an Academia Partner institution, or through the EC-Council iClass platform are automatically eligible to sit for the exam. Those who have not completed an official EC-Council course must submit an Exam Eligibility Application along with a non-refundable $100 USD fee and demonstrate a minimum of two years of work experience in the information security domain before being approved to test.

EC-Council lists 150 multiple-choice questions and four hours. An exam voucher costs $450; self-study candidates need two years of information-security experience and a $100 non-refundable eligibility application, and a retake voucher is $249. EC-Council sets cut scores per exam form and does not publish a score for EDRP, so a fixed 70% is unconfirmed. The exam code 312-76 appears mostly on third-party sites, so confirm the version and code at booking.

EDRP is aimed at business continuity and disaster recovery staff, system administrators, IT risk managers and consultants, and IT directors who own recovery planning. It is most useful where you must show a documented, tested recovery process. Holders renew through EC-Council's continuing-education cycle.
