Change Management Foundation Training Course

What is the Change Management Foundation Qualification?

The Change Management Foundation Qualification is a new qualification from the APM Group (APMG)

• The APMG is the UK based organisation that administers the standards and qualifications for PRINCE2® (a standard for project delivery) and ITIL® (a standard for service delivery). These are two internationally recognized standards.
• In 2006, APMG developed the Principles of Change Management qualification (now known as the Change Management Foundation qualification) around Making Sense of Change Management by Cameron and Green.
• The assessment is a one hour multiple choice exam.
• Just as with ITIL® and PRINCE2®, organisations, course material and trainers are assessed and accredited by the APMG.
