APMG Change Management online qualifications are designed to help change management professionals better manage organisational change.
The guidance provided by APMG helps equip candidates with the knowledge, tools, and techniques to effectively plan and implement successful change initiatives.
Qualifications and online training are based on the CMBoK (Change Management Body of Knowledge) from the Change Management Institute. This guidance is the most authoritative source of information on change management practices anywhere in the world.
Self-paced APMG Change Management online courses explore how change affects individuals, teams, organisations and change leaders. Earning your APMG Change management qualification online demonstrates your understanding of change management and your ability to:
APMG Change Management online qualifications are a real-world assessment of your proven skills and experience as a change professional. The assessment standard used is the Change Manager Competency Models as described in the CMBoK.
Rapid globalisation and adoption of new digital solutions are just some of the reasons why modern organisations are in an almost constant state of change.
To succeed in competitive environments, business leaders and managers must be able to deal with rapidly changing requirements and shape them into beneficial outcomes.
Skilled change managers are highly valued by those that employ them – this is reflected in an average annual salary of £60,000 for qualified, knowledgeable change managers[1].
Change management online training can help you by equipping you with the skills and tools required to effectively mitigate the risk of adopting new technologies and business practices while helping ensure change initiatives deliver tangible value.
APMG’s Change Management online certification scheme is accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). It was designed as a primary competitor, and preferable alternative, to the US-based Prosci Change Management qualifications.
Studying using online self-paced learning is becoming a more popular way of gaining an APMG Change Manager qualification.
There are 2 levels of APMG Change Management qualification – the entry-level Foundation qualification and the intermediate Practitioner qualification.
This is an entry-level Change Management qualification aimed at beginners and those new to change management. Change management training can also benefit anyone who occupies a role responsible for organisational change, transition, or transformation.
The intermediate qualification is aimed at senior staff responsible for delivering organisational change programmes and Foundation qualification holders who wish to learn more advanced change management skills.
To be eligible for the Practitioner exam, candidates must first pass the Foundation exam.
To earn your APMG Change Management qualification, you can enrol on a self-paced Change Management online course. Self-paced learning is an ideal way for busy, working professionals who cannot commit to a fixed classroom schedule.
Earning your Change Management qualification through an online self-paced course can be done in a little as 12 hours. If you do choose to study using a self-paced Change Management online course, you require a computer, audio, internet, and an optional video camera.
If you prefer face-to-face learning with an experienced tutor, then you should choose an instructor-led APMG Change Management course taught by experienced change management trainers.
To check whether there is a classroom instructor-led Change Management course in your area, or a virtual instructor-led course hosted on the internet, please check the dates on the Change Management Foundation page or Change Management Practitioner page.
In the late 20th century, psychological change and its effects on people was a field of study limited to psychologists and academics.
This changed however, when thought leaders in several different global organisations turned their attentions to the issue of implementing wide-scale changes in their respective businesses without incurring insurmountable penalties and loss in productivity. .
Gradually, in project meetings and at boardroom tables the process of successfully negotiating organisational change began being referred to as a discipline.
Change management soon became formalised as another type of management, and official frameworks started to develop.
In 2005, the Change Management Institution (CMI) was established in Sydney, Australia. They authored The Effective Change Manager: The Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK), written guidance which collected the ideas and methods used by change management thought leaders across the globe.
The CMBoK is today widely recognised as the most authoritative publication in the change management profession. It is upon the CMBoK that the APMG Change Management qualifications are based.
Self-paced learning has had many different names over the years, including distance learning, computer-based training (CBT), and e-Learning (or elearning). We prefer to use the term ‘self-paced’ because you can stop and start your learning whenever, and wherever you want.
