Change Management Practitioner
Projects are driven by change, and this change often has a high amount of risk – much like sailing on the open sea. Think of Change Management as the captain of a ship sailing toward a new land: ensuring everything stays on track, and that the crew is safely on board & supported in the midst of occasionally alarming circumstances.
Change management is a systematic approach to an organisation’s transition or transformation goals, processes, or technologies. It highlights how the advantages of a change outweigh the challenges of implementing it – and that results in more buy-in.
The Change Management Practitioner is for anyone interested in understanding how to implement the principles of achieving successful organisational change as you will learn how to apply specific techniques to ensure a smooth transition during change initiatives while providing full support to the business – and its people.
Please note that to enrol in the Change Management Practitioner course, you must have successfully completed and passed the Change Management Foundation course.

Frequently Asked Questions
You have questions, and we have all the answers
Projects are driven by change – for example, the pandemic has resulted in several companies implementing new services, products, or features to maintain their competitiveness and meet customer expectations in today’s fast-paced environment. While change is necessary, however, it’s not always easy. Change management is a systematic approach to an organisation’s transition or transformation of goals, processes, or technologies, and it implements effective strategies for change and helps people to adapt to change in the business.
The Change Management Practitioner certification was created for aspiring or practising Change Management professionals that wish to be a part of successful organisational change delivery. This certification will also benefit anyone involved in organisation change, transition, or transformation projects.
The Change Management Practitioner is assessed and awarded by means of an examination. This exam is objective and comprises 5 questions with 16 points to be awarded for each question. Your exam will be 2.5 hours long, and you will be required to score 50% (40 out of 80) or higher in order to pass. This is an open-book exam, and so you will be able to make use of the Change Management Study Guide should you wish.
The Change Management Practitioner certification will provide you with the practical skills you require in order to be recognised as a reliable manager of organisational change projects. Even if you are not working within change management, the Change Management Practitioner certification will enhance your active listening, strategic thinking, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
The Change Management foundation examination does not expire. Candidates who pass the practitioner exam are recognized as ‘Change Management Registered Practitioners’. Individuals will remain ‘Registered’ for a period of 5 years. To maintain Registered status, practitioners must complete and pass a Change Management Re-Registration examination within 3-5 years following their initial/previous practitioner certification.
