The Change Management Practitioner course focuses on understanding how to apply and tailor change management guidance in a given organizational change situation.

Our 2-day Change Management Practitioner course will further develop some of the knowledge of Change Management learned during the Foundation™ certification. You will consider what learning is required and how best to design and deliver it. Then the course will provide an understanding of how Change Management fits into the project management environment.

This course also prepares you for the APMG International Change Management Practitioner™ exam that will be taken on the fifth day. Given that a primary course goal is to achieve both the Foundation™ and Practitioner™ certification, the program textbook will be provided in advance of the program so the participant may begin studying. In addition, daily homework/assignments (minimum of 2 hours a night), and practice quizzes will be provided.
