Why Change Management Skills Are in Demand in Bern

Banking Consolidation at Scale

The UBS and Credit Suisse integration is the largest transformation Swiss finance has faced in a generation, creating sustained demand for change specialists who can manage people through disruption.

Learn to lead large-scale organisational change

Public Sector Digital Transformation

The Digital Switzerland Strategy 2024 to 2027 is reshaping federal services based in Bern, yet the people side of change is often the gap that certified practitioners are hired to close.

Build stakeholder and communication skills

A Widening Digital Skills Shortage

With 72% of Swiss employers struggling to fill digital roles, change and adoption programmes stall without practitioners who can build capability and sustain new ways of working.

Stand out with a recognised credential

Pharma and MedTech Change Programmes

Bern employers such as CSL Behring and Ypsomed run drug development, quality and regulatory change programmes that need governed, people-centred change management to succeed.

Apply structured change practice

Change Saturation and Resistance

Concurrent transformation programmes overload employees and fuel resistance. Certified change managers assess capacity, manage transition and protect adoption and wellbeing.

Learn resistance and adoption techniques

Scarcity of Certified Change Talent

Switzerland has a deep pool of project managers but far fewer credentialed change practitioners, making Foundation and Practitioner holders rare and highly valued.

Turn change skills into career advantage

Change management is more than a credential. It is the skill that turns strategy into adoption. Join professionals in Bern who lead change that lasts, and start your Foundation and Practitioner journey today.

Business Analysis Foundation and Practitioner

Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

Change Management Foundation and Practitioner (CM-F&P) is a combined qualification covering the people side of organisational change. Foundation validates your knowledge of change models and concepts; Practitioner proves you can apply them to real change scenarios. It is grounded in the Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK) and recognised internationally.

General

What is the Change Management Foundation and Practitioner certification?

Is the Change Management certification worth it for professionals in Bern?

Yes. Certified change practitioners are in demand across Bern's public sector, banking, insurance and pharma employers, where digital and regulatory change programmes need people-side expertise. Change Management Manager roles in Switzerland average around CHF 115,500, with transformation leadership paying significantly more.

Who should take this course?

The course suits project and programme managers, HR business partners, OD practitioners, consultants and leaders who sponsor or support change. It is ideal for anyone moving into a dedicated change role or adding proven change skills to their delivery toolkit.

Do I need prior experience or prerequisites?

No prior experience is needed for Foundation, which is open to all. The Practitioner exam requires Change Management Foundation certification (or an accepted equivalent), which this combined programme prepares you for first.

Which change management models does the course cover?

The syllabus covers ADKAR, Kotter's 8-Step Model, Lewin's Three-Step Model, the McKinsey 7-S Framework, Bridges' Transition Model, Schein's culture model, Goleman's emotional intelligence domains and Cialdini's principles of influence.

Is the qualification recognised internationally?

Yes. The Change Management qualification is recognised in over 150 countries and is well respected across the UK, Europe, Switzerland and Australia, where organisational change management is an established professional discipline.

Pricing

What is included in the course fee?

The fee typically includes instructor-led training, courseware aligned to the CMBoK and official syllabi, industry case studies, practice questions and mock exams for both levels, and learner support. Request a quote for the current inclusions.

How much does Change Management training cost in Bern?

Fees vary by delivery format and schedule and are quoted in Swiss francs. Pricing is available on request, so speak with a learning advisor for a tailored quote based on live online, classroom or corporate group training.

Are the exam fees included in the price?

Exam voucher inclusion varies by package. In many cases the Foundation and Practitioner exam vouchers are included, while some plans bill exams separately. Confirm current inclusions when you request your quote.

Do you offer corporate or group discounts?

Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, HR functions and transformation teams. Ask about corporate or group pricing for a tailored quote.

What payment methods are available?

We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and offer instalment options on selected plans. Talk to a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

Exam

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

You can retake an exam, and our preparation includes mock exams, practice questions and trainer guidance to help you pass. Verify the current re-sit policy and any retake options with our team before you book.

What is the format of the Foundation exam?

The Foundation exam has 50 single-answer multiple-choice questions, lasts 40 minutes and is closed book. The pass mark is 50%, meaning 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 (80 marks total), lasts 2.5 hours and is open book, with the Change Management Practitioner Guide permitted. The pass mark is 50%, meaning 40 out of 80 marks.

How are the exams delivered?

Both exams are delivered via online proctoring or at an authorised test centre. The Foundation exam is typically sat at the end of the Foundation content and the Practitioner exam at the end of the Practitioner content.

Which standard are the exams based on?

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

How many exams are in the programme?

There are two separate exams. You must sit and pass both the Foundation and the Practitioner exams to hold both credentials. The combined programme prepares you for both, with Foundation taken before Practitioner.

Course Content

Can a complete beginner take this course?

Yes. Foundation has no prerequisites and starts from core concepts, so beginners are welcome. The training then builds to Practitioner level, developing applied skills and exam technique with plenty of practice and trainer support.

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, taught at knowledge level for Foundation and application level for Practitioner.

Are mock exams and practice questions included?

Yes. The programme includes practice questions and mock exams aligned to both the closed-book Foundation format and the open-book, scenario-based Practitioner format, so you can identify weak areas and build exam readiness.

How long is the training?

The combined Foundation and Practitioner programme is delivered as 40 hours of instructor-led training. The number of days depends on the schedule format, from intensive full-day sessions to extended part-day options.

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 Practitioner Guide, grounded in the CMBoK.

What is the difference between Foundation and Practitioner?

Foundation validates knowledge and comprehension of change management concepts and models. Practitioner goes further, testing your ability to apply those models to realistic organisational change scenarios through an open-book, scenario-based exam.
