    General

    What is the Change Management Foundation and Practitioner certification?

Foundation covers change concepts and models, while Practitioner tests applying them to realistic change scenarios. It is aligned to the Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK).

    Is the change management certification worth it in Edmonton?

    Yes. Change management is a recognised, in-demand discipline across Edmonton's public sector, energy, healthcare and consulting employers. Average change management salaries in Alberta sit around C$113,000, with manager and lead roles reaching higher, so the credential offers strong career and earning upside.

    The course suits project and programme managers, HR business partners, OD practitioners, consultants and senior leaders who guide organisational change. It is ideal for anyone in Edmonton adding recognised change capability to their existing project, delivery or people role.

    Do I need experience or Foundation before Practitioner?

    Foundation has no formal prerequisites and is open to all. Practitioner requires the Change Management Foundation certification first. The combined programme takes you through both levels in sequence, so no prior change experience is needed to begin.

    Why choose Invensis Learning for change management training in Edmonton?

    Invensis Learning offers experienced trainers, courseware aligned to the official syllabi and CMBoK, flexible delivery, and mock exams for both levels. As an ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2022 certified provider, we support you from enrolment through to both certifications.

    Pricing

    How much does the training cost in Edmonton?

    Fees vary by delivery format and schedule, so pricing is available on request. The fee covers instructor-led training, courseware and practice materials for both certification levels. Request a quote or speak with a learning advisor for current Edmonton pricing.

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you and to ask about group pricing.

    Exam

    How many exams are in the combined programme?

    Two separate exams. The Foundation exam has 50 questions in 40 minutes, closed book, with a 50% pass mark (25 out of 50). The Practitioner exam has 5 scenario-based sections worth 16 marks each (80 total) over 2.5 hours, open book, with a 50% pass mark (40 out of 80).

    What is the format of the Foundation exam?

    The Foundation exam is closed book with 50 single-answer multiple-choice questions to complete in 40 minutes. The pass mark is 50%, or 25 out of 50 correct. It tests knowledge and understanding of change concepts, models and the change process.

    What is the format of the Practitioner exam?

    The Practitioner exam is open book and scenario-based, with 5 sections worth 16 marks each, 80 marks in total, over 2.5 hours. The pass mark is 50%, or 40 out of 80 marks. It tests your ability to apply change models to realistic organisational scenarios.

    What does open book mean for the Practitioner exam?

    The Change Management Practitioner Guide is permitted during the Practitioner exam. However, the scenario questions require analysis and judgment, so you cannot simply look up answers. Efficient guide navigation and deep model knowledge are both essential, and the training builds both.

    What if I do not pass on the first attempt?

    Our training is designed to prepare you thoroughly for both exams, with mock exams and practice questions for each level. If you need to resit, we guide you on re-examination steps and preparation. Ask an advisor about retake support options.

    What standard are the exams based on?

    The exams are aligned to the Change Management Foundation and Practitioner exam syllabi and the Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK) published by the Change Management Institute, with the current Change Management Practitioner Guide used as the reference for the Practitioner exam.

    Course Content

    What models and topics does the syllabus cover?

    The syllabus covers individual and organisational change models including ADKAR, Bridges' Transition Model, Lewin's Three-Step Model, Kotter's 8-Step Model, McKinsey 7-S, Schein's culture model, Goleman's emotional intelligence and Cialdini's principles of influence.

    What are the five syllabus areas?

    The five areas are Change and the Individual, Change and the Organisation, Communication and Stakeholder Engagement, Change Practice, and Personal and Professional Management. Foundation covers them at awareness level and Practitioner at application and analysis level.

    Can a beginner take this course?

    Yes. Foundation has no prerequisites and starts from the fundamentals, so beginners are welcome. The programme builds knowledge step by step before moving into the applied Practitioner content, and trainers support you throughout.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive courseware aligned to the official syllabi, industry-driven case studies, practice questions and mock exams for both Foundation and Practitioner. These help you connect the change models to realistic organisational scenarios.
