Course description
Dealing with change and more importantly, the impact of change is a high priority for all organisations. The APMG-International Change Management™ Foundation and Practitioner has been developed by APMG-International in partnership with the Change Management Institute (CMI). Together they have developed a professional ‘body of knowledge’ for the discipline of change management. This body of knowledge now provides an independent benchmark for the professional knowledge expected of an effective change manager.

- Analysing how different organisation types are affected by change
- Considering various models of organisational change and how best to apply them to a project scenario
- How to manage resistance to change and analyse and engage with stakeholders effectively, including effective communications

Study time
We recommend that when you have completed at least 10 to 15 hours of distance learning you can consider booking your examination.
However, different people have different learning styles and speeds, so we will not push you to take the examination on any given date – or impose cut-off dates on the distance learning. We have found this to increase delegate stress levels and negatively affect pass rates.
Assessment
The change management foundation course focuses on ensuring you have sufficient knowledge and understanding so that you are able to apply the techniques and concepts in an effective manner in your own environment. The change management Foundation exam is a 60 minute, multiple choice paper. Learners must successfully pass the Foundation exam to be eligible to sit the change management Practitioner exam.
