    Are there prerequisites for the Foundation level?

    No. Change Management Foundation has no formal prerequisites and is open to all, regardless of education or experience. The Practitioner level requires you to hold the Foundation certification first.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes syllabus-aligned courseware, industry case studies, mock exams and practice questions, exam preparation for both the CM-F and CM-P levels, and learner support before, during and after the program.

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with installment options on selected plans. Talk to a learning advisor to choose the option that best suits you.

    Exam

    What is the format of the Foundation exam?

    The Foundation exam has 50 multiple-choice questions to complete in 40 minutes. It is closed book with single-answer questions, and the pass mark is 50%, which is 25 out of 50 correct.

    What is the format of the Practitioner exam?

    The Practitioner exam has 5 scenario-based sections, each worth 16 marks, for 80 marks in total, completed in 2.5 hours. It is open book with the Change Management Practitioner Guide permitted, and the pass mark is 50%, which is 40 out of 80 marks.

    How many exams are in the combined program?

    There are two separate exams. You must sit and pass both the Foundation exam and the Practitioner exam to hold both credentials. The combined program prepares you for each level end to end.

    What does open book mean for the Practitioner exam?

    You may use the Change Management Practitioner Guide during the exam. However, the scenario sections require analysis and judgment, so you cannot simply look up answers. Deep method knowledge and efficient guide navigation both matter.

    What if I do not pass an exam the first time?

    You can resit the exam under the applicable retake policy, and our training and mock exams are designed to help you pass on the first attempt. Contact support for the current retake process for each level.

    Which change models will I learn?

    You learn a broad range of models, including ADKAR, Bridges' Transition Model, Lewin's three-step model, Kotter's 8-Step approach, McKinsey 7-S, Schein's culture model, Goleman's emotional intelligence domains and Cialdini's principles of influence.

    Can a beginner take this course?

    Yes. The Foundation level has no prerequisites and is beginner friendly, so you can start even without prior change management experience. The program builds from core concepts up to practitioner-level application.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive syllabus-aligned courseware, industry case studies illustrating change models and stakeholder engagement, practice questions, and full-length mock exams for both the Foundation and Practitioner levels.
