    Pricing varies by format, whether you choose live virtual, classroom or corporate group training. For current fees and any offers on Change Management certification training in Detroit, request a quote or talk to a learning advisor.

    Are the exam fees included in the training price?

    Exam fees can vary by region and channel. Some packages bundle the Foundation and Practitioner exam vouchers, while others quote them separately. Confirm what is included for your chosen batch before you enroll.

    Do you offer corporate or group discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customized schedules and volume-based pricing for change teams, PMOs and HR functions across Detroit. Contact us for a tailored group quote.

    Exam

    What is the format of the Foundation exam?

    The Foundation exam has 50 multiple-choice questions, runs for 40 minutes and is closed book. The pass mark is 50 percent, which is 25 out of 50 correct. It is typically taken at the end of the Foundation portion of the training.

    What is the format of the Practitioner exam?

    The Practitioner exam is open book, using the Change Management Practitioner Guide. It has 5 scenario-based sections, each worth 16 marks, for 80 marks total, over 2.5 hours. The pass mark is 50 percent, which is 40 out of 80 marks.

    What does open book mean for the Practitioner exam?

    You may use the Change Management Practitioner Guide during the exam. However, the scenario-based questions require analysis and judgment, so you cannot simply look up answers. Both deep knowledge and efficient guide navigation matter, and the course prepares you for both.

    Do I need to pass Foundation before Practitioner?

    Yes. Change Management Foundation certification is required before you sit the Practitioner exam, or an accepted equivalent. The combined program covers Foundation first, then Practitioner, so you progress through both levels in one pathway.

    What if I do not pass an exam on the first attempt?

    The training is built to help you pass both exams on your first attempt, with mock exams, practice questions and open-book technique. If you need to resit, retake policies and any resit fees are confirmed with our team, so ask your advisor before you enroll.

    Course Content

    What topics are covered in the training?

    The course covers all five syllabus areas: Change and the Individual, Change and the Organization, Communication and Stakeholder Engagement, Change Practice, and Personal and Professional Management. Foundation builds knowledge, and Practitioner develops application to real scenarios.

    Can a beginner take this course?

    Yes. Foundation has no prerequisites and is designed for professionals new to formal change management. The trainer explains each model from the ground up and uses practical examples, so beginners and experienced project or HR professionals can both follow along.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive courseware aligned to the official Foundation and Practitioner syllabi and the CMBoK, industry-driven case studies, practice questions, mock exams and reference materials to support both exams.

    How long is the training program?

    The combined Foundation and Practitioner program is delivered as 40 hours of instructor-led training. The number of days depends on the schedule format you choose, such as intensive full days or extended part-time sessions.

    Which standard is the course based on?

    The course is aligned to the official Change Management Foundation and Practitioner exam syllabi, the current Change Management Practitioner Guide, and the Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK) maintained by the Change Management Institute.

    Are there any prerequisites to join?

    No formal prerequisites are needed to enroll. Foundation is open to all, and the Practitioner level only requires that you hold or are working toward the Foundation certification, which this combined program covers.

    Can I reschedule my enrollment to another batch?

    Yes. Flexible options let you reschedule or move to another batch subject to our policy. Contact support to arrange this, and confirm any conditions that apply to your enrollment.
