Change Management Practitioner v3
This APMG International accredited Change Management Practitioner v3 certification helps candidates effectively deal with change and more importantly, the impact of change which is a high priority for all organisations.
Change management is a specialist field that guides how we prepare, equip and support individuals to successfully adopt change in order to drive organisational success and outcomes. While all changes are unique and all individuals are unique, decades of research shows there are actions we can take to influence people in their individual transitions. Change management provides a structured approach for supporting the individuals in your organisation to move from their own current states to their own future states.
Dealing with change and more importantly, the impact of change is a high priority for all organisations. The Change Management Certification has been developed by APMG in partnership with the Change Management Institute (CMI), an independent, global professional association of change managers. Together they have developed a professional ‘body of knowledge’ for the discipline of change management. This body of knowledge now provides an independent benchmark for the professional knowledge expected of an effective change manager.

The purpose of the Change Management Practitioner qualification is to confirm whether the candidate has achieved sufficient understanding of how to apply and tailor Change Management guidance in a given organisational change situation.
A successful Change Management Practitioner candidate should, with suitable direction, be able to start applying the Change Management approaches and techniques to a real change initiative but may not be sufficiently skilled to do this appropriately for all situations.
Their individual Change Management expertise, complexity of the change initiative and the support provided for the use of Change Management approaches in their work environment will all be factors that impact what the Practitioner can achieve.
- Identify and propose appropriate uses of change ‘levers’ to build momentum for a change and to sustain the change once it is effected.
- Use sound principles of learning to identify key learning needs resulting from a change initiative and to support professional Learning & Development colleagues in developing people’s competence.
- Offer constructive behavioural feedback and coaching to colleagues involved in a change initiative.
- Offer insights into warranted and unwarranted conflicts that arise during change and take actions to help manage conflicts constructively.
- Apply co-design concepts appropriately in a change initiative, contributing positively to the design and facilitation of co-design workshops.
