    The Change Skills You Will BuildAcross All Five Topic Areas

    This programme turns change theory into practical capability. By the end you can diagnose how people and organisations respond to change, engage stakeholders, plan and deliver change, and sit both the Foundation and Practitioner exams with confidence.

    Support Individuals Through Change

    Skills covered in this course start with how people experience change. Apply ADKAR and Bridges' Transition Model to diagnose where individual change stalls and design targeted support that builds awareness, desire and lasting behaviour change.

    Lead Organisational Change

    Select and apply organisational change models such as Lewin's Three-Step Model, Kotter's 8-Step Model and McKinsey 7-S. Diagnose culture using Schein's model and assess readiness before you plan and pace a change.

    Engage Stakeholders and Communicate

    Map and analyse stakeholders, build engagement strategies, and design change communication plans. Use Cialdini's principles of influence to manage resistance through dialogue rather than coercion across the change lifecycle.

    Plan and Deliver Change Practice

    Run change impact assessments, build a full change management plan, and integrate it with the project timeline. Manage resistance, plan training and capability building, and embed change so it sustains after go-live.

    Manage Yourself as a Change Professional

    Apply emotional intelligence using Goleman's four domains, plus coaching and facilitation skills, to build trust and navigate conflict. Practise reflective practice, resilience and ethical judgement under pressure.

    Pass Both Exams with Confidence

    Prepare for the closed-book Foundation exam and the open-book, scenario-based Practitioner exam. Learn to navigate the Practitioner Guide efficiently under timed conditions and apply the models to realistic change scenarios.
