    What is the Change Management Foundation and Practitioner certification?

    It is a combined change management qualification that validates your ability to lead the people and culture side of organizational change. Foundation covers change concepts and models, while Practitioner validates applying them to real scenarios. Both are aligned to the Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK) and the Change Management Practitioner Guide.

    Who should take this change management course in Sacramento?

    It suits change managers, project and program managers, HR and OD practitioners, consultants and senior leaders who drive or support change. Across Sacramento, state agencies, healthcare systems, technology firms and utilities all value certified change professionals to lead transformation.

    Is change management certification worth it in Sacramento?

    Yes. Certified change managers in Sacramento average around $141,000, and senior roles reach well beyond that, according to 2026 salary data. As employers modernize systems and ways of working, credentialed change practitioners are in demand and well paid.

    Do I need experience or prerequisites to start?

    No prerequisites are required for the Foundation level, so beginners can start here. The Practitioner exam requires the Foundation certification first, and the combined program is designed to take you through both levels in sequence.

    Which change management models does the course cover?

    The course covers the models employers rely on, including ADKAR, Kotter's 8-Step Model, Lewin's Three-Step Model, McKinsey 7-S and Bridges' Transition Model, plus Schein's culture model, Goleman's emotional intelligence and Cialdini's principles of influence.

    Is the certification recognized internationally?

    Yes. The change management qualification is recognized in over 150 countries and is well respected wherever organizational change is treated as a professional discipline, so your credential travels with you across sectors and regions.

    Pricing

    What is included in the course fee?

    Your fee includes syllabus-aligned courseware, case studies, Foundation and Practitioner mock exams and practice questions, exam-technique guidance and learner support. It is built to take you from learning to certified. Talk to a learning advisor for full inclusions.

    How much does the training cost in Sacramento?

    Pricing depends on the delivery format you choose, such as live virtual, classroom or corporate group training. Current pricing for Sacramento is available on request. Request a quote and an advisor will share options that fit your goals and schedule.

    Are the exam fees included in the training price?

    Exam voucher inclusion varies by package. Some plans bundle the Foundation and Practitioner exam vouchers, while others price them separately. Confirm the current inclusions for your chosen option with a learning advisor before you enroll.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customized schedules and volume-based pricing for teams, PMOs and departments. Ask about corporate pricing and we will tailor a quote for your organization.

    Exam

    What is the format of the Foundation exam?

    The Foundation exam has 50 multiple-choice questions to be completed in 40 minutes. It is closed book, and the pass mark is 50%, which is 25 out of 50 correct. It is usually taken at the end of the Foundation portion of the training.

    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, over 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 there in the combined program?

    There are two separate exams, the Foundation exam and the Practitioner exam. You must sit and pass both to hold both credentials. The combined program prepares you for each, in sequence, within one 40-hour course.

    What does open book mean for the Practitioner exam?

    It means the Change Management Practitioner Guide is permitted during the exam. However, the scenario-based sections require analysis and judgment, so you cannot simply look up answers. Efficient guide navigation and deep method knowledge are both essential.

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

    You can prepare for a resit. Our trainers provide exam-technique guidance, mock exams and practice questions to support a first-attempt pass, and can advise on the retake process. Confirm the current resit policy with a learning advisor.

    Which standard are the exams based on?

    Both exams are based on the current Change Management Foundation and Practitioner exam syllabi, aligned to the Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK) from the Change Management Institute and the Change Management Practitioner Guide.

    Course Content

    What topics does the change management course cover?

    The course covers five topic 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 applies it to real scenarios.

    Can a beginner take this course?

    Yes. The Foundation level has no prerequisites, so beginners and career changers are welcome. The training builds from core concepts to applied practice, so you gain the confidence to sit both exams even without a change management background.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?

    Yes. The program includes practice questions and full mock exams for both the Foundation and Practitioner formats, plus scenario-based exercises. These help you find weak areas, practice open-book technique and build exam readiness.

    The combined program runs for 40 hours, typically delivered over 5 days, though the daily schedule can vary. It is available live virtual (online), in the classroom, or as customized corporate training for teams.

    We offer live virtual (online) instructor-led training, classroom training, self-paced options and customized corporate group training. You can choose the format that fits your schedule, learning style and team needs.

    How soon can I start the training?

    We run regular weekday and weekend batches, so you can usually start within a short time of enrolling. See upcoming schedules for Sacramento or ask a learning advisor about the next available cohort.

    Can I reschedule or transfer my enrollment?

    Yes. Flexi options let you reschedule or transfer to another batch, and selected plans let you attend the training again. Contact our support team to arrange the option that works for you.

    What is the refund or cancellation policy?

    Refunds and cancellations are handled per our published policy, and selected plans include a money-back option. Reach out to our team for the details that apply to your chosen enrollment before you sign up.
