Testimonials
Another course achievement from APMG International. I found it very insightful into how projects and change can impact people and organisations. I believe the course content is relatable in any business or even on a personal and family level.
I really enjoyed the APMG International Change Management course. I have found awareness of the change models and techniques covered in the course incredibly useful.
Really pleased to have achieved the Change Management Practitioner Qualification from APMG. I found the course to be very insightful for managing change from a people and organisational perspective. I really recommend the course to any change professional or those starting their career in change.
The course explores in depth the various theories behind change management practices and gives practical scenarios that teach you how to see and apply these in your own work. The insights and tools gained from this experience are a great benefit to anyone working in the change management field.
The APMG Change Management course has been an enjoyable experience and great addition to my skill set. The course seamlessly blends theory and practice, introducing tools and techniques instrumental to managing change initiatives in any industry. The knowledge gained has helped me become a better digital transformation professional and improved my skills to drive change initiatives concerning people, technology and organisations.
The Change Management was great timing as I can relate to and recognize some of the theories as I'm going through the change process myself; transitioning to new ways of working and learning new systems within my new role. Change happens a lot in local government so I can use what I have learnt in my role on a personal level, as a manager and as a team member. The practitioner level is an opportunity for you to demonstrate that you can use the knowledge from the Foundation level in an actual work situation.
