Foundation validates your understanding of change concepts; Practitioner validates your ability to apply them to real scenarios. It is aligned to the Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK) from the Change Management Institute.

    Who should take this certification course?

    It suits change managers, project and programme managers, HR business partners, organisational development practitioners, consultants and senior leaders sponsoring change. Anyone responsible for helping people adopt new ways of working benefits from the credential.

    Pricing

    How much does the change management course cost in Frankfurt?

    Fees vary by delivery format and whether exam vouchers are included, so pricing is available on request. The combined training is typically purchased as a package covering both levels. Request a quote for current Frankfurt pricing.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The programme typically includes syllabus-aligned courseware, industry case studies, mock exams and practice questions for both levels, and learner support. Exam voucher inclusion is confirmed at enrolment. Contact us to see what your package covers.

    Are the exam fees part of the training price?

    Exam voucher inclusion depends on the package you choose. Some options bundle the Foundation and Practitioner exam vouchers with the training, while others price them separately. Speak with a learning advisor to confirm the details for your enrolment.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for change teams, PMOs and leadership groups in Frankfurt. Ask about corporate or group pricing for a tailored quote.

    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 with a single-answer format, and the pass mark is 50%, which is 25 out of 50 correct.

    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%, 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 method knowledge and efficient guide navigation are essential.

    What are the prerequisites for each exam?

    Foundation has no formal prerequisites and is open to all. To sit the Practitioner exam you need the Change Management Foundation certification or an accepted equivalent. The combined programme prepares you for both, taken sequentially.

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

    Our training includes mock exams, practice questions and exam technique to prepare you for a strong first attempt. Re-sit policies vary, so our advisors will confirm the current re-sit options for your certification before you book.

    Course Content

    What topics does the course cover?

    The course covers five topic areas: Change and the Individual, Change and the Organisation, Communication and Stakeholder Engagement, Change Practice, and Personal and Professional Management. Foundation teaches them at knowledge level and Practitioner at application level.

    Which change management models will I learn?

    You will study a broad range of 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.

    Can a beginner take this course?

    Yes. Foundation has no prerequisites and starts from the fundamentals, so beginners are welcome. The programme then builds to Practitioner-level application, with case studies and trainer support to help every learner keep pace.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive courseware aligned to the Foundation and Practitioner exam syllabi and the Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK), industry case studies, mock exams and practice questions for both levels.

    Is the courseware aligned to the current syllabus?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current Change Management Foundation and Practitioner exam syllabi and the Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK), with the current edition of the Change Management Practitioner Guide as the core reference.
