Why study this course

» This Foundation course usually runs consecutively with Change Management V3 Practitioner as a five-day Combined course at a reduced price.

Change comes about in various forms within organisations due to many factors including projects, team restructuring, business analysis identifying different ways of working, company mergers, and outsourcing. No matter how big or small, they all need to be facilitated with Change Management to ensure a successful result.

The purpose of the APMG Change Management V3 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.

The APMG Change Management V3 Foundation qualification is designed to provide a robust foundation of knowledge for anyone involved in organisational change initiatives.

The qualification is based upon the Change Management Institute’s (CMI) Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK), version 2. A study guide entitled "The Change Manager's Study Guide" has been developed by APMG and is provided as part of this course.
