You should take an instructor-led APMG Change Management classroom course if:

• You can commit to a fixed classroom schedule
• You’d like to earn your APM qualification as quickly as possible
• You prefer face-to-face learning with a trainer
• You enjoy learning in a social environment with other students.

The APMG Change Management Foundation course is best suited for:

• Staff responsible with organisational change, transition or transformation projects

The APMG Change Management Practitioner course is best suited for:

• Aspiring change managers
• Key staff responsible for the design, development, and delivery of organisational change (including change project managers, senior responsible owners, operational line managers, and related roles).

APMG Change Management Foundation qualification does not expire and is valid for life. APMG Change Management Practitioner qualification expires after 5 years. Candidates who pass the Practitioner exam are recognised as ‘Change Management Registered Practitioners’.

Maintaining the ‘Registered Practitioner’ status must be done within 3-5 years by passing an APMG Change Management Re-registration exam which is the same format as the Practitioner exam but has fewer questions and lasts for 1.5 hours.

Beyond the 5-year period, you will be required to complete the full Practitioner exam again to be reinstated as a Change Management Registered Practitioner.

All exam results and credentials are administered by APMG International via the APMG Candidate Portal.

Preliminary results are available immediately after completion.

Instructor-led traditional classroom course students

• You will receive The Effective Change Manager’s Handbook on the first morning of the classroom course.

Instructor-led virtual classroom course students

• If you live in the United Kingdom, you will receive your handbook via courier in a timely manner before the start of your virtual classroom course.

If you live outside the UK, you will receive a digital copy of the handbook via email. You can still elect to receive a hard copy of the handbook, but you must pay an additional postage fee.

If you’ve enrolled in our instructor-led APMG Change Management class, we’ll provide introductory reading to help you familiarise yourself with basic terms and concepts before the course begins.

This reading should take no more than 2-3 hours and provides a basic overview of some of the topics you’ll encounter on your first day of your class.

If studying through an instructor-led APMG Change Management class, your instructor may set aside time during class to take the exams.

However, you are not obligated to sit your exams at this time and can book your exams whenever it is most convenient for you.

If you are studying using self-paced online training, you can choose to take your exam at any time within 12 months of purchase.

During your instructor-led APMG Change Management class, our trainers will assign you homework of 1-2 hours at the end of each day.

Homework may include reading assignments, quizzes, and other beneficial revision exercises.

If you are a student of an instructor-led virtual classroom course, you can take advantage of watching recordings of the training sessions for later review.

The Effective Change Manager’s Handbook helps change managers understand the core principles, tools, and techniques of change management.

The handbook forms the basis of APMG Change Management. It is based on the comprehensive Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK^™) created by the Change Management Institute.

The guide details everything needed to define, practice, and introduce effective organisational change – from initial planning through to managing and sustaining gained benefits.

Topics covered include:

• • The impact of Change
  • Readiness and sustainability
  • Stakeholder strategies
  • Benefits management
  • Facilitation
  • Essential project management knowledge
  • Continuous learning and development
  • And many more.

The Effective Change Manager’s Handbook is packed with guidance, strategies and models which change managers can use support any change initiatives.
