    What Is the Change Management Foundation and Practitioner Certification?UntitledYour Route to Certified Change Leadership

    Change Management Certification Training in Karlsruhe prepares you to lead the people side of organisational change with the globally recognised Change Management Foundation and Practitioner (CM-F&P) credential. It builds the knowledge and applied skill that employers across Baden-Wurttemberg look for when they run transformation, digital and restructuring programmes. The combined programme covers the Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK), maintained by the Change Management Institute, and the current Foundation and Practitioner syllabi from the Agile Business Consortium. You learn established models such as ADKAR, Kotter's 8-Step Model, Lewin's Three-Step Model, the McKinsey 7-S Framework and Bridges' Transition Model, then apply them to realistic change scenarios. Delivered as a 40-hour instructor-led course, it suits change managers, project managers, HR business partners and consultants in Karlsruhe's IT, energy, automotive and public sectors. Two levels form one clear pathway: begin with Foundation, progress to Practitioner, and start your change management journey with Invensis Learning.

    Is the qualification recognised internationally?

    Pricing depends on the delivery format you choose, such as live virtual, classroom or corporate group training. For current fees in euros and available offers, request a quote and a learning advisor will share the options that suit you.

    Are the exam fees included in the training price?

    Exam fees can be billed separately from the training, and inclusion varies by package and region. Confirm whether Foundation and Practitioner exam vouchers are bundled when you enrol. Ask a learning advisor for the details that apply to you.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Exam

    What is the format of the Foundation exam?

    The Foundation exam has 50 multiple-choice questions with a 40-minute duration, taken closed book. The pass mark is 50%, meaning 25 out of 50 correct. It is typically sat at the end of the Foundation part of the training.

    What is the format of the Practitioner exam?

    The Practitioner exam has 5 scenario-based sections worth 16 marks each, 80 marks in total, over 2.5 hours. It is open book, with the Change Management Practitioner Guide permitted. The pass mark is 50%, meaning 40 out of 80 marks.

    How many exams are there in the combined programme?

    There are two separate exams: the Foundation exam and the Practitioner exam. You must sit and pass both to hold both credentials. The 40-hour programme prepares you for each, with Foundation typically taken before Practitioner.

    What does open book mean for the Practitioner exam?

    You may use the Change Management Practitioner Guide during the exam. However, the scenario-based sections require analysis and judgment, so you cannot simply look up answers. Efficient guide navigation and solid method knowledge are both essential.

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

    You can prepare with mock questions and trainer guidance to build readiness before you sit. Re-sit policies and any retake fees vary by provider and region, so confirm the current terms with a learning advisor when you enrol.

    Course Content

    Can a beginner take this course?

    Yes. Foundation has no prerequisites and starts from core change concepts, so beginners are welcome. The combined format then builds you up to Practitioner-level application, supported by trainer guidance and scenario practice throughout.

    What topics are covered in the training?

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

    Which change models will I learn?

    You will learn a broad range of models, including ADKAR, Bridges' Transition Model, Lewin's Three-Step Model, Kotter's 8-Step Model, the McKinsey 7-S Framework, Schein's culture model, Goleman's emotional intelligence and Cialdini's principles of influence.

    How long is the training and how is it delivered?

    The combined programme is 40 hours of instructor-led training, delivered as live virtual, classroom, onsite or corporate group sessions. Foundation content is covered first, followed by Practitioner content, with scenario practice throughout.

    Are practice questions and materials provided?

    Yes. You receive CMBoK-aligned courseware, industry case studies, and Foundation and Practitioner mock questions to reinforce learning and build exam readiness. These help you identify weak areas before you sit each exam.

    Enrollment

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website, choose your preferred format and complete payment to receive access to schedules and materials. To see upcoming batches in Karlsruhe, talk to a learning advisor.
