About The Course
Change Management™ Foundation Virtual
Why should I take the Change Management Foundation Virtual course?
During this course you will examine a variety of change management techniques and change management models commonly used within organizations. A structured approach to change helps you to better deal with change as an individual, as a member of a team or organization, and as a leader. The Foundation course explores the impact that change has on four areas: Change and the Individual; Change and the Organization; Communications and Stakeholder Engagement; and Change Management Practice.
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.
