Managing Benefits provides managers and practitioners from multiple disciplines, working in a wide variety of organizations, with generally applicable guidance encompassing benefits management principles, practices and techniques that enable organizations to optimize the return from their investments in change.

Target Audience:

The course is relevant to all sectors and types of project or programme, or what the Managing Benefits guide refers to as 'change initiatives'.

The target audience includes all those with a role in ensuring best use of funds by maximizing the benefits realized from change initiatives. This multi-disciplinary group includes:

• Change leaders (e.g. senior responsible owners & directors of change)
• Change initiators (e.g. strategic planners and policy leads)
• Change appraisers and evaluators (e.g. business case developers and project appraisers)
• Change implementers/enablers (e.g. portfolio, programme & project managers)
• Change support staff (e.g. portfolio, programme & project office staff)
• Business Case writers and project appraisers

Accreditations and exams:

All delegates will be given the opportunity to sit the Managing Benefits Foundation examination in the late afternoon of the third day of the course. The Managing Benefits Foundation exam consists of:

• 50 multiple choice questions
• 40 minutes
• Closed-book
• Candidates require a minimum of 25 correct answers (50%) to pass.

Practical details:

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
