Change Management™ 3rd Edition Re-Registration Virtual

Why should I take the Change Management Re-Registration virtual course?

 

APMG updated its Change Management syllabus in Spring 2024, impacting the content for recertification exams. If you were originally certified under the 2015 syllabus and are now seeking recertification, this course will help you bridge the gap. Gain a clear understanding of the latest concepts, reinforced through a practical case study and a comprehensive practice test designed to enhance retention and exam success.

Virtual classroom training allows you to benefit from real-time teaching in the comfort of your home or office. You get the same interactions as an on site course and will be able to ask questions to the instructor. Since the exams are not done on paper during the class but online, you will also benefit with time to study and prepare until you are ready to get the certification.

Which exam is included in this course?

This course includes the Change Management Practitioner exam.

Change Management Practitioner exam

  • 4 Objective Testing style questions with 20 points per question. A total of 80 marks are available
  • Open book exam, but only the Change Management v3: APMG Study Guide
  • 2.5-hour duration
  • 50% needed to pass – 40 / 80 correct marks

When is the exam taken?

On day 1 of the virtual course, you will receive a link from the exam authority APMG-International. You will be able to schedule the exam in the portal anytime you want 24/7. You can change the time of the exam as you please. However, if you change the date 24hrs prior to start time, APMG will charge a fee.

A webcam is required to identify yourself to the proctor with a photographic ID and then you can do the exam online from home.

What are the technical requirements for the online exam?

A personal computer is recommended to avoid any technical issues. If you are using an office computer, make sure you have the access rights or IT support at the time of the exam. For the online proctored exam an interface needs to be installed. Administrative rights are therefore essential.

Exams can be taken on a recent MAC or PC with Windows. A webcam and working microphone (internal or external) are required. Also, you must install either the browser ‘Google Chrome’ or ‘Firefox’.

The online exam is not available on a tablet (Ipad) or Cellular phone at the moment.

How does the course prepare me for the Change Management exams?

The course follows the official Change Management Practitioner syllabus. The accredited training materials are cross referenced to areas of the exams so that you are fully prepared. During the course, you practice with the latest exam papers from APMG-International. The course is dedicated to practicing for your Practitioner exam and our expert trainer will guide you through a series of exercises and discussions to get you ready for the exam itself.

Do I need ID for the Change Management exams?

You must have a photographic ID with you. A driver’s license or passport is fine. A work ID, with photograph, is also acceptable.

English is not my native tongue?

For exams done in another language than your native tongue, you will be attributed 25% more time. We can also make arrangements to help with dyslexia or medical issues regarding exams if you submit a doctor’s note in advance.

How long does my Change Management qualification last?

The Practitioner qualification must be renewed every 5 years to maintain your status as a Change Management Registered Practitioner.

What happens if I don’t pass the Change Management exams?

If you don’t pass the exam you can do a re-sit for an additional fee.

How do I prepare for Change Management training?

You have about 10 hours of preparation to do before you attend the Change Management Re-Registration course. Before the class, we will send you the official handbook. You must refresh the material under version 3, prior to attending the virtual class.

What is the difference between APMG Change Management vs Prosci?

These two courses are more complementary than competitors. APMG Change Management is strong on theory and the body of knowledge; the “why” and “what”. Prosci is strong on practice and application; the “how”. If both courses are taken they would offer valuable, additive learning for the change management professional.

The APMG course is a broad high-level introduction of theory and ideas about change management; suitable for someone starting in the field or a self-taught manager looking for some new ideas and thinking tools to improve their approach to the complex problems in change. Prosci course is ideal for someone who is facing a change situation and wants to know what to do and when; it is about the process of change in the organisation and for individuals.

How does the virtual class work?

You connect to the online platform and the instructor will deliver the course to you wherever you are. We ask that you keep your camera open as much as possible so that the trainer can get a good sense of how learning is evolving. Some time periods will be allocated for questions, interactive exercises, lunch and breaks.

I am not sure my computer is up to date for the online exam?

You can use the contact form to send us a message in advance. We will be able to verify if your computer meets the technical requirements.

What is the process for a proctored exam?

The exam authority has a strict procedure for online exams to ensure the security of the session. Some of them are:

You will be asked to be alone in a well-lit room with no background noise. The proctor will ask you to rotate your webcam in order to verify the area. Your desk must be clean of papers, books or notes. Glass walls and/or doors are prohibited unless they are covered. You will be asked to position yourself in a way that doors are behind you and visible to the proctor through the webcam.

You can use the contact form to send us a message in advance if you wish to obtain more information on the remote proctoring process.
