Dealing with change and, more importantly, the impact of change is a high priority for all organisations.
This Foundation/Practitioner course on Organisational Change Management is based on the Change Management Body of Knowledge as defined by the Change Management Institute (CMI), an independent, global professional association of change managers. This body of knowledge provides an independent benchmark for the professional knowledge expected of an effective change manager.
The course comprehensively covers both the theory and the practice of change management including:
Accredited by APMG, the course is structured in two modules: a stand-alone Foundation Level (3 days) and a follow-on Practitioner Level (1 day). These can be taken individually or combined. Choose the option that best meets your needs. If you are interested in going to Practitioner level we recommend taking both modules in the one sitting if possible.
Kim has over 30 years experience including over 15 years at senior/executive management level in a variety of medium to large organisations, managing geographically dispersed teams of 100+ staff.

The course material was well presented and was brought to life by Kim. I really appreciated Kim's style of training, often providing examples and/or linking to experiences and scenarios from the participants. She clearly communicated expectations, and helped us to prepare well both for the exam and for real world application.

Foundation Level Certification
The purpose of the Foundation certification is to measure whether you have sufficient knowledge and understanding of The Change Management Study Guide to act as an informed member of a change management team during a period of change within part or all of your organisation. The Foundation certification is also a pre-requisite for the Practitioner certification.
Exam Format – Foundation
Practitioner Level Certification
The purpose of the Practitioner certification is to confirm whether you have achieved sufficient understanding of how to apply and tailor Change Management guidance in a given organisational change situation. A successful Practitioner should, with suitable direction be able to start applying the Change Management approaches and techniques to a real change initiative but may not be sufficiently skilled to do this appropriately for all situations. Your individual Change Management expertise, complexity of the change initiative and the support provided for the use of Change Management approaches in your work environment will all be factors that impact what the Practitioner can achieve.

Change Management – APMG/CMI vs PROSCI
One of the most frequent questions we get concerns the differences between PROCSI and APMG/CMI certifications.
ALC’s Change Management training comes from APMG and CMI (the Change Management Institute) which are both based in UK. PROSCI is US-based. The two approaches are not really competitors. Rather, they are complementary. They approach the same subject but from a different perspective. In an ideal world people would do both. A similar situation exists with Business Analysis between IIBA in USA and BCS in UK.
ALC recommends the APMG/CMI approach as a more suitable and effective starting point from an organisational perspective, particularly if you have a group of people to be trained.
For a comprehensive assessment of the two approaches we recommend this paper: Change management certification courses from APMG and Prosci®. Which one is right for you?
