Change Management (APMG)

This comprehensive five-day course combines both foundation and practitioner APMG Change Management qualifications. It will give you a highly developed understanding of change management, from the challenges of implementing change to managing resistance.

The Change Management Foundation qualification explores the theories of how change impacts on and is affected by the individual, team, organisation and change leader.

The practitioner element offers a more detailed exploration of change management, building on material from the Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK), a standard for change management.
