Change Management Certificate Program

About Change Management

Change is happening at an unprecedented pace and the demand for skilled change management professionals has never been greater. It is essential that individuals and organizations are able to adapt and successfully move through the process of change, and change managers can play an integral role in championing change initiatives to help organizations achieve a desired future state.

Given that one methodology does not fit all change initiatives, participants in this program will develop their change management toolkits to include a variety of different proven approaches to apply to real-life challenges. The results can lead to lasting, positive change, and improved business outcomes.

CEPE aspires to allow students up to 3 years to complete a certificate program, however, CEPE's program offerings can fluctuate due to market/community demand. Therefore, we reserve the right to cancel or revise a program at any time. This means that CEPE does not guarantee the completion of any certificate, so if certificate completion is a student's goal, we encourage completion as quickly as possible when courses are available.

I gained a ton of knowledge, new ways of working/tools, different diverse perspectives, and an elevated mindset to further my career.
