Frequently Asked Questions
You have questions, and we have all the answers
This course is ideal for anyone involved in change initiatives within an organisation. It’s particularly suited to change managers, project managers, HR professionals, team leaders, business analysts, and consultants looking to gain formal certification. Whether you’re supporting change at an operational level or leading strategic transformation, this course equips you with the practical tools and recognised credentials to make a lasting impact.
You’ll learn how to support and manage change effectively within an organisation. The course covers key principles such as how individuals respond to change, how organisations transition successfully, how to engage stakeholders, and how to plan and implement sustainable change initiatives. At Practitioner level, you’ll gain the skills to apply these principles in real-world scenarios, helping you lead change with confidence and clarity.
The course is delivered entirely online, allowing you to learn at your own pace. You’ll have access to interactive modules, revision tools, and exam preparation support over a 12-month period. Our learning experience includes 1:1 tutor support, live exam prep sessions, and access to a 24/7 AI-powered learning assistant for immediate answers and guidance whenever you need it.
Most learners complete the Change Management course in 4 to 6 months, but your enrolment includes 12 months of full access to all course content and exam booking windows. You’re free to study at a pace that suits your schedule, lifestyle, and learning preferences.
No prior experience is required to take the Change Management Foundation course. However, you must pass the Foundation level before progressing to the Practitioner exam. This makes the course accessible for beginners while still offering a progression path for professionals aiming to deepen their expertise.
We include one free resit for each change management exam, Foundation and Practitioner giving you peace of mind if things don’t go to plan on your first attempt. If you need extra support before your resit, our tutors will help you review weak areas and rebuild your confidence with targeted revision.
The Foundation exam is a 40-minute, closed-book, multiple-choice test designed to assess your understanding of core change management concepts. The Practitioner exam is a 2.5-hour, open-book, scenario-based assessment that tests your ability to apply the principles in practical, real-world situations.
Both the Foundation and Practitioner Change Management certifications are valid for five years. To maintain your Practitioner status beyond this period, you will need to either retake the exam or meet the requirements for re-certification through an approved CPD (Continuing Professional Development) route.
With a Change Management certification, you’ll be qualified for roles such as Change Manager, Business Change Analyst, Transformation Consultant, HR Business Partner, Project Manager, and Organisational Development Specialist. These roles are found across industries that need structured approaches to manage change and transformation initiatives.
Yes, the course includes the exam fees for both the Change Management Edition Foundation and Practitioner exams. When you sign up for the combined course package, you will receive exam vouchers (or codes) that cover the cost of scheduling your official Change Management exams through APMG International (the examination institute) once you are ready to sit your exam and pass your internal assessment. This means you won’t need to pay anything extra to sit the exams, it’s all bundled in the course. When you’re ready to take an exam, we’ll guide you through the process of booking it. The exams themselves are typically taken online via remote proctoring, so you can sit them from the comfort of your home or office at a time that suits you. Since the fees are covered, you can focus on studying and passing the exams without worrying about additional expenses.
We understand that funding your course is an important consideration, so we offer flexible payment options to make it as easy as possible for you to get started. You have a couple of convenient payment plan choices:
Interest-Free Instalments (In-House Financing): You can spread the cost of the course over manageable monthly payments with 0% interest. This internal financing option allows you to pay in chunks (for example, over 3, 6, or 12 months) without any extra fees. It’s a budget-friendly way to invest in your career by paying as you learn, rather than one large sum upfront. We’ll work with you to set up a plan that fits your budget, and approval is usually straightforward since it’s handled directly through us.
Premium Credit Financing: We also partner with Premium Credit to offer an extended financing option. If you prefer a longer-term payment plan or need a higher credit limit, Premium Credit can finance your course with monthly payments. This option is like a student loan, you apply through our partner, and upon approval, you can spread the payments over a longer period (conditions and any interest rates will be explained during the application). It’s another hassle-free alternative to paying a lump sum and can cover the course and exam fees together.
Both options are designed to be stress-free and help you get started on the course right away, rather than delaying your plans. Our career consultants can explain the details of each plan and help you choose the best one for your situation. No matter your budget, we want to support your learning journey, finances shouldn’t stand in the way of advancing your career. Feel free to reach out to us to discuss the payment plans; we’re here to help you find the ideal solution so you can focus on your studies with peace of mind.
