Change Management Foundation and Practitioner Certification

Dealing effectively with change is a high priority for organizations today. The APMG-International Change Management™ Certification has been developed by APMG in partnership with the Change Management Institute (CMI), an independent, global professional association of change managers. They have developed a professional ‘body of knowledge” for the discipline of change management, which provides an independent benchmark for the professional knowledge expected of an effective change manager.

Change Management Foundation and Practitioner levels present the latest knowledge theory and best practices in effective change management along with professional certification.
