3 Accreditation Levels

Wherever you are in your change career path, the three different levels of Accreditation will ensure a relevant assessment of your capabilities. You decide which level, you don’t have to do them in order.

Assessment is rigorous and thorough. The Change Management Institute Accreditation is not a test, rather a real world assessment of your proven skills and experience as a Change Professional. The assessment standard is the Change Manager Competency Models. The Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK) describes the knowledge underpinning the competency models.
