Change Management Foundation & Practitioner

What is Change Management?

Change Management is all about preparing for and handling organisational change. To develop their Change Management qualification, the APMG have worked with the writers of the Making Sense of Change Management book to deliver a qualification which helps both organisations and their employees come to terms with the issues that may come up during the process of change.

Change Management Foundation & Practitioner is a 5-day course designed to teach you everything you need to pass the APMG Change Management Foundation & Practitioner exams.

Change can greatly impact any organisation, and it is important to be prepared to handle it before, during and after it occurs. Change Management Foundation and Practitioner will ensure that employees involved in organisational change are ready for change when it comes, embracing it rather than fearing it.

Our Change Management course materials are based on the 2012 edition of “Making Sense of Change Management 3rd edition” and include an examination based on this manual.
