ETA Certified Change Leader

Six courses in three levels: Change Fluency and Leading Change in the Intelligence Age, from foundations to advanced.

Six self-paced courses, about 12 hours, in three levels, built on ETA's SHIFT framework: Set the why, Hear the people, Invest in skills, Fit the work and Track and tune. Change Fluency helps everyone adapt to and shape change; Leading Change in the Intelligence Age helps leaders make AI and technology change stick. Level 1: Foundations is free. Level 2: Practitioner and Level 3: Advanced are included with ETA Leader membership, or available to buy on joineta.org. Every module ends with a knowledge check, every course ends with a final assessment, and Level 3 ends with a capstone reviewed by ETA. Finish all three levels to earn the ETA Certified Change Leader certification.
