FAQs
APMG International Change Management training is designed to help professionals understand how change affects people and organisations. These courses will enable you to achieve a certification that supports work in change, project, programme and transformation environments.
What is the APMG International Change Management certification?
APMG International Change Management certification focuses on the principles used to support and embed change. It helps you understand how people respond when working practices, systems, roles or priorities shift, and how structured change management can improve adoption. For learners, this means building a recognised qualification while developing knowledge that can be used in real change environments, not just in the exam.
What is the difference between Foundation and Practitioner?
Foundation introduces the core concepts and principles of change management. It is the right starting point if you need to understand the discipline and build a structured base of knowledge.
Practitioner builds on Foundation by focusing on how change management approaches are applied in organisational scenarios. It is better suited to learners who need to use change management techniques in practice, make decisions in change situations and support adoption more actively.
You must complete the Foundation certification before taking your Practitioner exam.
How can Change Management certification support my professional development?
This certification can help evidence your knowledge of structured change management practices, which may be useful if you work in change, project or programme delivery, portfolio management, and organisational development or transformation.
The benefit is not only the certificate. The training can also help you communicate more clearly, understand people’s responses to change and contribute more effectively when organisations introduce new systems, processes, structures or ways of working.
Is APMG International Change Management useful for project and programme professionals?
Yes. Change often happens through projects and programmes, but successful delivery depends on more than completing tasks or implementing a solution. This training helps project and programme professionals understand how people, teams and stakeholders are affected by change, so they can support adoption more effectively.
