Course description
Virtual Open Change Management
APMG Accredited Training
Foundation Level - 3 days
Focusing on both the process and the people aspects of change, the Change Management Foundation certification teaches you powerful skills for managing change, such as engaging people along the journey, assessing the impact of change and an organisation’s change readiness.
On this highly practical Change Management accredited course you will:
- Learn to thrive on change, minimise the stress that transition creates and gain the confidence to make change ‘stick.’
- Master how to galvanise individual motivations, overcome resistance, dismantle the barriers to communicating change and assess the severity and complexity of the change.
- Develop your understanding of change and what it means, identify the negative impacts that change initiatives can have and learn how to address these so you can manage change initiatives successfully.
- Be recognised as a dependable manager of organisational change and gain a widely recognised professional qualification.
This globally recognised qualification, accredited by APMG International, is the definitive certification for professionals dealing with organisational change, transition and transformation.
It goes beyond the scope of a traditional project or programme management approach, focusing on 4 core types of areas:
- Organisational context and approach
- People and change
- Change leadership and teams
- Stakeholders and communication
- Work of the change manager
Each main topic area included considers how the topic relates to best-practice theory, how to apply it and the context in which it can be applied.
We offer the Change Management certification as a scheduled public virtual classroom course for people who may have missed an in-company course or independents wishing to gain the Change Management certification.

Bespoke Courses
ChangeQuest are very happy to discuss your requirements and deliver an
in-company version of this Change Management certification course, which can be tailored to specific organisation requirements.
In-company training means we can reference your current processes, specific terminology and project management frameworks, throughout the course.
This makes it easier for people to identify how best to apply the theory and concepts in the most effective and beneficial way. It also means your teams can work with ‘live’ project examples during course activities to develop useful outputs, making the programme even more relevant and effective.
