Successful completion of this course may entitle you to credits in various professional development programmes.

Certification Exams
The Practitioner Exam is a 2½ hour objective testing exam. You will be able to access ‘The Effective Change Manager’s Handbook’ during the exam, but no other materials. There will be 4 questions and 80 question items, each worth 1 mark for a total of 80 marks. You must get at least 40 of the 80 question items correct to pass. The questions will be presented in the following styles:

  • Classical multiple choice
  • Yes/No
  • Multiple responses
  • Matching
  • Sequencing
  • Assertion/Reason

Candidates for the Practitioner Exam must have already passed the Foundation Exam

The examination is conducted by APMG, subject to their terms and conditions.

EZY Skills will book your examination with APMG. APMG will then contact you by email and ask you to register in their candidate system. They will also let you know how to schedule the date and time you wish to take your examination.

Your course fee allows for a “one time” sitting at the examination. Please be aware that if you schedule an examination with APMG but do not take that examination as scheduled, APMG will charge you an additional fee for the examination. You will not be able to reschedule a missed examination until this additional fee has been paid.

Reference Manual
This course reflects the content of The Effective Change Manager’s Handbook, ISBN 978 0 7494 7307 5

Each Practitioner course makes frequent references to sections in the relevant reference manual. In addition, a Practitioner exam candidate is permitted to access the reference manual during the exam; in fact, the examiner expects that the candidate does have access. So EzySkills strongly recommends that Practitioner exam candidates have access to a copy of the reference manual during the exam.

Only the official reference manual may be used; not a photocopy. The official manual may be annotated and tabulated but no sticky notes and loose leaf papers containing additional notes will be allowed to be access in the Practitioner examination.

Note that this does not require the candidate to purchase a copy of the reference manual for themselves. It may be possible for a candidate to borrow a clean copy of the reference manual from a previous candidate or from a corporate or public library.

A certification course does not cover all of the content in the corresponding reference manual. Delegates would find that having access to a copy of the reference manual in the workplace after the course would be an invaluable resource. Most people find that the level of knowledge required to pass a certification exam is somewhat lower than required to actually apply the material just learned in the workplace. Even people with a great deal of experience using the material find that there are occasions when access to the reference manual is necessary.

The Book Depository
APMG Business Books

Most reference manuals are also available on Amazon.com or do a Google search for

“The Effective Change Manager’s Handbook”

Used copies may be available on Ebay or similar sites.
APMG are currently not providing any hardcopy versions from their bootcamp

Delivery Timeframe

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, delivery times for hardcopy reference manuals are currently much longer than normal. Students are advised not to schedule their Practitioner exam in advance of receipt of any reference manual they may have ordered.
