Using CHAMPS2 to facilitate your organisation's business change will structure your approach, develop your teams and ensure that you deliver outcomes that match your strategic needs. But, as with any methodology, the benefits achieved from its use will depend upon the way that it is implemented and the knowledge of the teams involved.

To assist your organisation, CHAMPS2 has partnered with AMPG to develop formal qualifications in CHAMPS2 at Foundation and Practitioner level. The qualifications are awarded by APMG and the training is carried out by accredited training organisations.

Foundation and Practitioner qualifications

You can attain CHAMPS2 qualifications at Foundation and Practitioner levels. The Foundation confirms your understanding of CHAMPS2, whilst the Practitioner asks you to apply your knowledge in practice.

You can study on your own or attend a training course. At the end of each course you will sit an exam. The Foundation training course is typically two days with a 45 minute exam. The Practitioner course takes three additional days to complete and the Practitioner exam two hours. The length of the training may vary depending on the training organisation that delivers the training.

How do I get recognised in CHAMPS2?

To become a recognised CHAMPS2 professional you need to attain certification at either Foundation or Practitioner level.

All registered CHAMPS2 professionals are listed in an online register on the AMPG website. The register can be accessed by individuals and companies for a verified list of practitioners.

What level of qualification should I aim for?

The Foundation qualification aims to give practising team members and leaders a clear overview and understanding of the key phases of the CHAMPS2 method and how they could be applied in their organisation.

The Practitioner qualification aims to give members of business change teams practical skills and techniques to apply the CHAMPS2 method in a range of circumstances. The qualification does this by developing knowledge and understanding of the principles and practices required to lead within transformation programmes.
