Advance your expertise in guiding teams and organisations through transformation with the APMG Change Management Practitioner qualification. Designed to provide you with the tools, frameworks, and insights needed to manage change effectively, this certification ensures you’re prepared to tackle the complexities of organisational shifts.

With a focus on practical application, the APMG Change Management Practitioner course is ideal for professionals eager to deepen their knowledge and bring added value to their roles. Offering more than just theoretical insights, the course tailored to help you understand the human dynamics behind successful change.

This qualification equips you with skills to analyse and respond to resistance, manage stakeholders effectively, and guide organisations smoothly through change. Whether you’re currently working in project management, HR, or any role that requires strategic change support, the APMG Change Management certification will set you apart as a trusted change leader.

Specifically you should be able to:

Use a range of organization paradigms to understand, support and sustain change processes, taking account of the culture of the organization
Apply an appropriate process framework to help plan or understand any particular organizational change
Establish a clear framework of roles, skills and activities through which leaders from different levels can support and sustain the change process
Contribute effectively to preparation for a change initiative, including building the change team, offering insights which improve team effectiveness
Offer relevant insights in discussions about how to prepare people for change, including planning for learning and motivational issues relevant to different roles and types of people
Help colleagues understand the difference between organization change and the human impact of transition, and suggest practical leadership actions at different stages of a change
Support the identification and mapping of stakeholders in a change process and help develop approaches to build and maintain stakeholder engagement
Draft the communications plan for a change initiative, taking proper account of the various stakeholders and of an appropriate range of communication channels
Recognize signs of resistance to change and propose actions to mitigate it
Propose a range of levers by which a change can be sustained and become embedded in the organization
