The Change Management Upgrade
course is designed for people who have previously taken and passed
the Foundation examination. The course is often very popular with
organisations who wish to run it as an in-house option. It has
been designed to build on delegate's existing
knowledge; provide an update in Change Management; and prepare
delegates for the Practitioner Objective Test Exam.
Candidates who undertake this
course and exam will gain a deeper knowledge of the principles of
change management and an understanding of how to implement and
manage change in their organisations. The objective of the course
is to enable candidates to generate better acceptance of change
through the implementation of change theories, enabling a higher
rate of satisfactory change while keeping staff engaged.
This course builds on the
knowledge of the four change areas from the Foundation course and
supplements this with information taken from the People Alchemy
website www.peoplealchemy.co.uk which
enables candidates to further understand the concepts and
application of change management.
The Practitioner Exam is a
3-hour multiple choice paper. It is open book and comprises four
questions based on a given scenario. There are 20 marks per
question. Candidates must score 50% to pass. The Practitioner exam
can only be taken when a candidate has passed the foundation
exam.
Both the Foundation and
Practitioner level qualifications are based on the Making Sense of
Change Management book written by Esther Cameron and Mike Green.
The Change Management Practitioner exam also has a candidate
handbook which can be taken into the exam. Candidates who have passed the Change
Management Practitioner examination can put Change Management
Practitioner on their business cards.
