Our take
Based on the ratings of 6,662 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in March 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.
This is a short, lecture-style introduction to change management from Quantum Consultants, a consulting firm. It runs about 1.7 hours across 27 lectures in five sections: change levels, project phases, competencies, and the stages individuals go through when change lands on them. There is one quiz and no exercises or projects. The syllabus shows it is built for people who need the vocabulary and the big picture, not a toolkit to paste into a live project. More than 17,000 students have enrolled, and the course was last updated in March 2025.
Most of the 6,662 ratings are strong. Around 5,700 are four or five stars. Reviewers describe the delivery as straight-forward, concise and easy to follow, and two single out the examples from the presenter as practical or simple. The complaints are consistent too. Low-star reviewers say it is one person talking with no graphics, and that it gets boring. A four-star reviewer found a lot of theory and wanted more templates, especially for the phases section. Only 162 reviews are one or two stars.
Think of it as a primer. It gives a new manager or team member a shared vocabulary before a change project, but it will not teach implementation in depth. If you learn best from visuals, activities or worksheets, plan to add something else. If you want a brisk overview and can live with a talking-head format, it is a reasonable first step.
Pros
- Short at about 1.7 hours, so it fits into a couple of evenings
- Reviewers find the explanations simple, concise and easy to follow
- Covers levels, phases, competencies and individual reactions in a clear order
- About 5,700 of 6,662 ratings are four or five stars
Cons
- Mostly one person talking with few graphics, which bored several low-star reviewers
- Theory-heavy, with few templates and only one quiz for practice
- Introductory only, so it will not prepare anyone to run a real change project alone
This was a good intro to CM and a necessary step for me to begin evolving the way I think about, approach and work through CM implementations. Great course!
Listed for all levels, but it reads best for beginners. No prerequisites, though basic business concepts help.

Course Description
Change management is a structured approach for ensuring that changes are thoroughly and smoothly implemented, and that the lasting benefits of change are achieved.
When an organization or business undertakes projects or initiatives to improve performance, seize opportunities or address key issues, they often require changes; changes to processes, job roles, organizational structures or other modes of operation that significantly reshape a company or organization.
This course gives you the insights into change management and explores the approaches, techniques, and pitfalls that change managers face as they drive organizational change.
We'll start this course by examining how to scale and deploy change management techniques to different levels of an organization, ranging from a project, business area, or an entire corporation. Next, we'll describe the stages of managing change within a project or as part of a separate change initiative.
We'll then explore the various components of change. Finally, we'll discuss the different stages of change for individuals. In an increasingly volatile business world, it's vital to have the right tools and techniques to maximize your ability to change and enhance your career.

There is lot of theory, which is obviously subjective from a Change project to Change project. Some templates, specifically on Change Management Phases could be more helpful

Getting basic information on change management. Very useful.
By Avery AUGUSTYN on 3/11/2026
Good information, needs work on presentation. The instructor spends a lot of time monologuing with no graphics, which makes it difficult to keep focused on the topics he is trying to present.
