Change Management Foundation & Practitioner Training

About the Training

The “Change Management Foundation & Practitioner” training provides both foundational and practical knowledge in change management. This type of training is typically divided into two stages: Foundation and Practitioner.

Foundation Training:

This stage focuses on the fundamental concepts, theories, and approaches of change management. Participants learn about the causes of change, the processes involved in change management, and the essential tools and techniques used in the field. The Foundation level aims to build a solid understanding of change management principles and prepare participants for more advanced topics.

Practitioner Training:

This stage is more practical and aims to enhance participants’ change management skills. Participants learn how to apply the theories and tools they have studied to real-world scenarios. The Practitioner training covers topics such as managing resistance to change, developing communication strategies, and evaluating change projects. It equips participants with the skills needed to lead and manage change initiatives effectively.

Certification:

The training typically concludes with exams at both stages. Participants who pass the Foundation stage receive a certificate that validates their basic knowledge of change management. Those who complete and pass the Practitioner stage earn a certificate demonstrating their practical abilities in change management. These certifications confirm that the participant possesses both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in change management.

Certification holders are often viewed as reliable experts in managing and leading change projects to success. They are recognized for their valuable skills in effectively and efficiently managing change processes, which are particularly crucial in the modern business world, where continuous change and transformation are the norm.
