Certification Exams
The Foundation Exam is a 40 minute closed book multiple choice exam. You must get at least 25 of the 50 questions correct to pass.
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 Foundation course is self-contained; students will not need the reference manual to pass the Foundation examination.
However, as the Foundation course makes frequent references to sections in the reference manual, some people may find that having a copy of the reference manual would increase the value of the course. Also, the Foundation course does not cover all of the content in the 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.
Only the original 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 accessed in the Practioner Exams
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 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 accessed 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.
