About ACMP
ACMP is the Association of Change Management Professionals. It is an independent, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the perpetuation and growth of the discipline of Change Management. It was founded in 2009 by a small group of global change leaders and has grown to a international community of more than 3000 members. The ACMP aims to provide its members with a platform to learn, share and develop professional change practices so as to achieve intended change outcomes for themselves and their organisations.

The CCMP™
CCMP™ is the Certified Change Management Professional™. The ACMP created and established the CCMP™ accreditation to recognise experienced change management professionals who demonstrate their commitment and consistent application of best practices in change management based on ACMP's industry-leading standard for Change Management® ("The Standard"). Unlike other Change Management designations, the CCMP™ is based on "international standards (ISO/ANSI) and extensive Practice Analysis Study which investigated leading practices in change management with senior change professionals around the world". In essence, achievement of the CCMP™ designation demonstrates an individual's success in managing a spectrum of change-related challenges as well as his continued dedication towards his/her mastery of Change Management skills.

How can Prosci® Certifications and CMC help you to achieve the CCMP™?
Prosci® identifies with ACMP's decision to create a change management professional designation that standardises change management accreditations and is one of the first organisations to become a QEP™ for the ACMP. This means that Prosci® flagship Change Management Certification Programme, as well as many of the advanced certification programmes, aligns with The Standard established by the ACMP. The Prosci® Change Management Certification Programme constitutes for 23 instructional hours, while the advanced certifications requirements coincides closely with the 60 PDUs needed to maintain the CCMP designation.
