    Exam

    What is the format of the two exams?

    The Foundation exam is closed book with 50 multiple-choice questions in 40 minutes; the pass mark is 50%, meaning 25 out of 50 correct. The Practitioner exam is open book and scenario-based, with 5 sections worth 16 marks each (80 marks total) in 2.5 hours; 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. You must sit and pass both the Foundation exam and the Practitioner exam to hold both credentials. The combined 40-hour programme prepares you for both, end to end.

    What does open book mean for the Practitioner exam?

    The Change Management Practitioner Guide is permitted during the Practitioner exam. However, the scenario-based sections require analysis and judgment, so you cannot simply look up answers. Efficient guide navigation and deep method knowledge are both essential, and we practise this in the programme.

    How and where do I take the exams?

    Exams are delivered via online proctoring or at an authorised test centre, typically at the end of each level of training. Your trainer will guide you on scheduling and what to expect on exam day.

    What if I do not pass the first time?

    You can re-sit the exam. Our trainers provide first-attempt guidance, mock exams and targeted practice to help you pass, and can advise on the re-sit process if needed. Confirm current re-sit terms when you enrol.

    Course Content

    What topics does the programme cover?

    It covers five topic areas: Change and the Individual, Change and the Organization, Communication and Stakeholder Engagement, Change Practice, and Personal and Professional Management. Foundation builds knowledge; Practitioner applies each area to realistic scenarios.

    Which change models will I learn?

    You will learn 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, and how to apply them in practice.

    Can a beginner take this course?

    Yes. Foundation has no prerequisites and is beginner friendly, so you can start even without prior change management knowledge. The programme builds from core concepts to applied practice, with trainer support throughout.

    Is the courseware aligned to the current standard?

    Yes. The materials are aligned to the official Change Management Foundation and Practitioner exam syllabi, the Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK) and the current Change Management Practitioner Guide.

    Are practice tests and materials provided?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions, full mock exams, case studies and downloadable materials to help you identify weak areas and build readiness for both exams.
