APMG Change Management Certification

Course Overview

The purpose of the Foundation qualification is to confirm that a candidate has sufficient knowledge and understanding of Change Management to work as an informed member of a team working on an organisational change initiative. The Foundation qualification is also a pre-requisite for the Practitioner qualification. This qualification is aimed at individuals who are involved in change initiatives who require a working knowledge of the key principles of change management, who need to know the terminology used and some of the theory behind the practice. It is also the introduction to the higher-level Practitioner qualification and therefore includes all those who are the target audience for that qualification.

FOUNDATION

 

PRACTITIONER

The purpose of the Practitioner qualification is to confirm whether the candidate has achieved sufficient understanding of how to apply and tailor Change Management guidance in a given organisational change situation. A successful Practitioner candidate should, with suitable direction, be able to start applying the Change Management approaches and techniques to a real change initiative but may not be sufficiently skilled to do this appropriately for all situations. Their individual Change Management expertise, complexity of the change initiative and the support provided for the use of Change Management approaches in their work environment will all be factors that impact what the Practitioner can achieve.

This qualification is aimed at change managers and aspiring change managers. It is also relevant to other key staff involved in the design, development and delivery of change programmes, including change leaders (e.g., Senior Responsible Owners), change ‘agents’

(e.g., Business Change Managers), change implementers (e.g., Programme Managers), change support (e.g., Programme Office) and operational line managers/staff.

The qualifications are focused on helping people understand change management, the impact it has within their organisation and their role in the successful implementation of organisational change.
