COURSE DESCRIPTION  back to top

Acuity Institute’s Change Management course has been designed to provide Change Leaders running organizational projects with the tools and skills to initiate change in a project environment. It is intended for project managers and team members alike.  This course delivers best practices from leading change experts in a practical and simple way.  It focuses on the tool user as well as the tools.  It demystifies change by providing learners with an outstanding set of interactive templates which lead you through the change process and culminates in a self populating dashboard so learners can measure their progress.

Unlike other Change Management courses, practitioners will also learn the process of change through a project simulation in which they can practice the top skills of Change Leaders.  This course has been designed by experienced Change Experts, who have led organizational change in multiple industries and countries for over 15 years.  

Training is conducted online and uses a multi-media format that includes audio by Change experts, examples of successful change, interactive simulations and quizzes, and the most current and robust tools and techniques available.  The course is “self-paced” and can be accessed at anytime – anywhere, which provides the most flexibility in completing the course.  On average students complete the Change Management course in 35 hours (average completion time, actual time may vary).

Acuity Institute’s Change Management course is one of the most practical in the world.  We recommend this course to Project Leaders, Team members, Champions and Sponsors.
 

CERTIFICATION  back to top

Acuity Institute’s Change Certification Exam is the standard for Change Management.  Upon completing Change training, students will be required to achieve a passing mark of 80% or higher on the exam.  The exam is intended to validate student proficiency with the Change tools and techniques.  The following highlights the Change Certification Exam.

• Students will have 1 attempt to successfully pass the exam (80% or higher).  If a student does not pass the exam they will be charged a fee of $25 if they choose to retake the exam.  Upon submitting the retake fee, Acuity Institute will provide areas in the course for the student to review prior to the next exam attempt.
• The exam is administered online.  Students will need to have an active internet connection to complete the exam.
• The exam is open book.  Students may use any reference materials to complete the exam (training manuals, project materials, etc.).
• Students have a maximum of 90 minutes to complete the exam.
• Once the entire exam is complete, the student will be notified immediately if they passed the exam.  Students will not have access to their answers; this information is keep confidential to Acuity Institute.

Acuity Institute’s Change Certification requires the completion of the Simco International Change project. At Acuity we recognize that not every individual has the opportunity to complete an actual project while completing their training. For each of our courses, we have created a Real-World simulated project that takes learners from the beginning to end of the problem and solution. This helps to build the Learners understanding of the concepts taught in training and the practical application of the tools.  Learners complete the course better prepared to apply what they have learned in the real-world. No other Training service provider on the market offers a comprehensive simulation such as ours.
