About the course
What is the
Agile Change Agent Course?
The Agile Change Agent course is a two-day virtual classroom built for people who plan and deliver change at work. It gives you a practical, repeatable system covering five core areas — from understanding agile principles to creating the right environment for change to last.
The course is interactive, applied and built around real change situations, so you leave with tools, confidence and a shared language you can use straight away.
On completing the course you sit an APMG International examination and receive a digital badge and certificate that is verifiable and permanent on your professional profile.

The challenges this course solves
If any of these are happening in your organisation right now, this course will give you direct, practical answers.
“You’re skilled — but not structured.”
You’ve been delivering change on instinct and experience. It’s working, mostly. But without a repeatable system, every new initiative feels like starting from scratch.
“Stakeholders resist, disengage, or derail.”
You know the change is right. But the people side — building buy-in, managing resistance, creating a culture that embraces change — keeps catching you off-guard.
“Your expertise is invisible without a credential.”
You’re doing the work. But in a competitive market, uncertified practitioners are passed over — regardless of experience. A recognised qualification changes that.
Right for you?

Why this course is different
You’re learning directly
from the source
Most change management courses are delivered by trainers who have read the material. This course is delivered by the person who created it. Every technique you learn comes with the original thinking behind it — and a real example from Melanie’s own practice.
Author of Agile Change Management
The course is built on the book Melanie wrote. Every concept carries the context and nuance no other trainer can give you.
APMG Scheme Owner & Chief Examiner
Melanie defines the syllabus and writes the exam questions. Preparing with her is the single most direct route to your certification.
Decades of global consulting experience
Every technique is illustrated with examples from Melanie’s real client work across industries, global organisations, and governments.
Official e-book included
Every delegate receives a complimentary copy of Melanie’s textbook — the foundation for your course and examination.

From the delegates
What people say
after two days with Melanie
I arrived with a couple of years of experience, thinking I knew lots of things. But this course didn’t just add new tools — it gave me the confidence and language to do more powerfully what I was already doing instinctively.
Experienced Change PractitionerI came in sceptical about two days on a screen. I left describing it as illuminating and fun. Melanie gave us attention, presence, and energy that makes a virtual classroom feel nothing like sitting alone at a desk.
Delegate who nearly didn’t bookI left with practical strategies I can apply straight away — including the benefit dependency network, which I used on a live programme the following week. The breakout group work is something the book simply can’t replicate.

Questions you might have
before booking
Will the virtual classroom feel like spending two days in front of a screen?
No. The course is highly interactive, with pair work, small group activities and discussion throughout. Melanie guides the room closely, bringing energy, attention and practical support so the virtual classroom feels active, engaging and personal. One participant who almost didn’t book described it as “illuminating” and “fun”.
I already have experience in change management — will I learn anything new?
Yes. Many participants arrive with strong change knowledge already. What they gain is a clearer structure, new practical techniques, and — just as importantly — the confidence and language to do more powerfully what they were already doing instinctively. Around 20% of delegates have already read Melanie’s book before attending and consistently say she brings it to life in a way the book alone cannot.
Is the course practical, or is it mostly theory?
The course is built around application. You will work with tools, techniques, and real examples that connect directly to your own change initiatives. Participants consistently describe leaving with ideas they can use immediately.
How can I justify the cost of a two-day course?
Certified change professionals earn between 15–25% more than uncertified peers. At an organisational level, consider the real cost of a poorly planned change: rework, missed benefits, low adoption rates, and programmes that have to be repeated. One avoided failure costs your organisation far more than the course fee.
My employer won’t fund it without a strong business case.
Capability for Change provides a ready-made business case you can adapt and present to your employer. A change management consultant typically costs £1,500 per day — by funding your development, your organisation strengthens its internal change capability and reduces reliance on external support.
