Course Prerequisites

Although there are no prerequisites to attending this course, students should be familiar with the basic concepts and language of business change. Delegates have to attain a pass at Foundation level to continue the course and sit the Practitioner exam.

You will be provided with pre-course reading approximately two weeks prior to attending the course. This pre-reading is expected to take approximately five hours to complete. Your learning starts with this pre-reading, so please ensure you can complete the pre-course activities in full prior to attending. If you have not received your pre-reading material within one week of the start of your course, please contact your Account Manager or the QA Examination Administration team on 44 (0)1793 696273 or info@qa.com Delegates will be presented with a copy of the official Managing Benefits manual on day 1 of the course.

Photo ID

Delegates must bring photographic identification with them on exam days (passport, driving license, or works pass) as it is an examination requirement to produce it for the invigilator prior to the exam. Failure to produce a valid form of photographic identification may result in a candidate not being able to sit the exams. For any questions about what form of identification is acceptable, please contact your Account Manager or the QA Examination Administration team on 44 (0)1793 696273 or info@qa.com

Additional work will be required during evenings consisting of consolidation reading and a mock examination. This evening work is an integral part of the course and delegates should expect to spend 2 hours each evening on these activities. You must also be familiar with the APMG-International Terms and Conditions of Certification which can be found on the APMG-International website.
