The definitive certification for professionals dealing with organizational change, transition and transformation.
Our Change Management courses, developed in partnership with the Change Management Institute, are designed to help organizations and their people manage the impact of change. They provide techniques to effectively plan and implement successful transformation initiatives.
In the modern business environment, change is relentless. This can be challenging, but it also presents opportunities. By effectively managing change, organizations enhance their performance and achieve their goals.
Understanding the impact of change is crucial to its management. Change can create either positive or negative outcomes. It can lead to increased productivity, improved morale and new opportunities, or it can cause stress, anxiety, and resistance.
Our Change Management foundation and practitioner training explores how change affects, and is affected by, individuals, teams, change leaders, and organizations.
APMG-accredited Change Management courses equip individuals with the knowledge, proven methods and techniques to:
- Unlock resistance to change.
- Provide effective support and motivation to individuals and teams to embrace change.
- Draw from a range of professional approaches to implement change smoothly and effectively.
- Identify and engage with key stakeholders throughout the change process to gain support.
- Speed up the implementation of change programs.
- Highlight their contribution as change professionals to initiatives.
Techniques and tools discussed in the course, such as how to lead change and involve those impacted by it, and effective communication strategies, can help organizations manage change and reap the benefits.
These qualifications also offer a pathway to independent accreditation by the Change Management Institute.
APMG is proud that the Change Management Practitioner certification is accredited and recognised by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).
