Identify likely impacts and support practical change adoption with clear communication.
Change Management Essentials is a 6-hour Professional Short Course in Business & Project Foundations. Develop focused understanding that you can apply to workplace situations without joining a full academy programme.
Who this course is for
Project contributors, team leaders and professionals supporting changes to processes or working practices.
Entry guidance
Basic computer use and confidence reading and discussing workplace information are helpful. No prior professional qualification is assumed. Discuss accessibility or learning support needs with RDE before enrolment.
Learning themes
Indicative themes below describe the intended course focus. RDE confirms the delivery syllabus and activities before enrolment.
- Reasons for change and stakeholder impact
- Readiness, communication and responses to resistance
- Adoption, support and measures of change effectiveness
Practical activity
Example activity: Develop a change-impact assessment, communication outline and adoption checklist for a workplace scenario. Use a fictional or anonymised scenario so confidential employer information is protected.
Learning outcomes
The intended outcome is to identify likely impacts and support practical change adoption with clear communication. Your confidence develops through practice and feedback; a short introductory course does not replace workplace experience.
How you can study
The source format supports fully virtual live online or self-paced options, subject to current availability. Confirm delivery format, software needs and course arrangements with RDE. Optional assessment or mentoring arrangements are discussed separately.
Career relevance and recognition
This focused course supports development for related business, project or operational responsibilities. It does not promise employment or an automatic third-party professional certification. Ask RDE what completion recognition applies to the selected delivery.
Progression options
