For Immediate Release

Melbourne, Australia, 15.09.24 – The Agile Change Leadership Institute, a leading voice in organizational transformation and professional development, proudly announces its recognition as a Qualified Education Provider™ (QEP™) by the Association for Change Management Professionals (ACMP) for its Agile Change Management Certificate. This course is now qualified for 4.50 instructional hours, marking a significant milestone in the institute’s commitment to delivering high-quality change management education.

In tandem with this recognition, the Agile Change Leadership Institute celebrates the recent announcement by ACMP to include on-demand learning providers in their Qualified Education Providers program, effective August 1, 2024. This progressive step by ACMP acknowledges the evolving landscape of learning and development, ensuring that professionals have access to flexible and accessible education.

Dr. Jen Frahm, Co-Founder of the Agile Change Leadership Institute, remarked, “This decision by ACMP represents a significant step forward in embracing the evolving landscape of learning and development. On-demand, asynchronous learning offers unparalleled flexibility and accessibility, aligning seamlessly with the diverse needs and lifestyles of modern learners.”

Dr. Frahm also highlighted the practical benefits of on-demand learning, stating, “Access to peer-reviewed scholarly work on on-demand and asynchronous learning remains limited due to various factors, including research cycle times and access to research populations. However, the practical benefits, primarily inclusivity of audiences who struggle with taking time-off work for professional development, and with maintaining sustained attention spans,are undeniable.”

The QEP™ program by ACMP promotes consistency and quality in change management education by qualifying training programs that meet its rigorous standards. Being part of this program aligns the Agile Change Management Certificate with ACMP’s Standard for Change Management©, ensuring that the course content is both comprehensive and in sync with industry standards.

Key Benefits of the Qualified Education Provider (QEP) Program:

• Consistency and Quality: The QEP program upholds high standards in change management education by qualifying programs that meet ACMP’s quality benchmarks.
• Professional Growth: It offers an opportunity to contribute to the ongoing growth and development of change management as a professional discipline.
• Alignment with ACMP Standards: The course content is aligned with one or more knowledge domains in ACMP’s Standard for Change Management©.
• Best Practices in Adult Education: The QEP qualification ensures that training program development and delivery are aligned with best practices for adult education.
• Access to the CCMP™ Community: As a QEP provider, the Agile Change Leadership Institute is now connected to ACMP’s CCMP™ Change Management community, offering a network of resources and professionals dedicated to advancing the field.

Reflecting on the challenges of on-demand learning, Dr. Frahm emphasized the importance of discernment in selecting providers, urging learners to evaluate factors such as educational and industry backgrounds, quality of assessments, and tangible learning outcomes. “On-demand learning complements traditional approaches and offers an alternative pathway for continuous professional development. In our white paper, ‘Learning that Lands,’ we explore how various learning theories can be integrated to create a comprehensive learning ecosystem,” she added.
