From the Change Management Examination Syllabus:

This qualification is aimed at change managers and aspiring change managers demonstrating an understanding of the principles and theory contained in the text supported by practical application and a good general level of understanding. Other key staff involved in the design, development and delivery of change programmes, including: change leaders (e.g. Senior Responsible Owners), change ‘agents (e.g. Business Change Managers), change implementers (e.g. Programme Managers), change support (e.g. Programme Office) and operational line managers/staff would also benefit from the higher level of understanding.

This level is aiming to measure whether a candidate knows how to apply the change management approaches and techniques to the management of change within their organization. To this end they need to exhibit the competence required for the Foundation Change Management qualification, and show that they know how to apply and tailor the approaches and techniques to address the needs and problems of a given change management scenario.

• Demonstrate that they understand the relationships between individual, team and organizational change and can apply this understanding to a change management scenario.
• Demonstrate that they understand the concept of leadership and how it can be applied to change management situations.
