This course provides practical knowledge on Change Management techniques and the Foundation certification.
This course also prepares you for the APMG Change Management Foundation exam. Given that a primary course goal is to achieve the Foundation Certification, the course text will be provided in advance of the workshop so the participant may begin studying. In addition, daily homework assignments and practice exams will be provided. The Foundation-level exam is taken at the end of the third day of the Traditional Classroom course. Virtual Classroom and On-Demand participants must make separate arrangements to schedule their exam following course completion (See "Important Note for Virtual and On-Demand Participants").
