Course overview

This bundle combines the Change Management Foundation and Change Management Practitioner online courses, providing better value than buying them separately. Change Management is a globally recognised qualification, developed with the Change Management Institute and certified by APMG International. It teaches the established theory behind successful change — how individuals and organisations react to it, and the approaches that help transformation take hold rather than stall.

The Foundation level builds your knowledge of the core models and principles: how people experience change, how organisations adapt, how to engage stakeholders, and how to plan and support change in practice. The Practitioner level then shows you how to apply those approaches to a real change initiative. Foundation has no prerequisites, so anyone can enrol — and because both courses and exams are included, you progress straight from one to the other.

Who's It For?

  • Change & Transformation Teams: Working on change, transition or transformation initiatives and wanting a recognised grounding in how change works.
  • Project & Programme Managers: Delivering change through projects and wanting to bring people along, not just hit milestones.
  • HR & People Leaders: Supporting people through organisational change and wanting the models and language to do it well.
  • Aspiring Change Managers: Looking to move into a dedicated change management role and needing a credential employers recognise.
  • Consultants & Business Leads: Advising on or leading change for clients or their own organisation with a structured, evidence-based approach.
  • Career Changers & Upskillers: Wanting to broaden their skill set with a qualification that complements project, product and delivery roles.
