Short quotations with a link to the source are welcome; full reproduction requires written permission." --- # Leanova Academy: who is behind it, and how to verify its ACMP QEP status > Leanova Academy is an official ACMP® QEP™ founded by Marc-André Rochefort, with learners in 50+ countries and a Trustpilot 4.7 from 39 reviews (7 October 2026). ## Is Leanova Academy an official ACMP QEP? Yes: Leanova Academy appears among the QEP providers on the ACMP’s QEP page (acmpglobal.org/page/qep, seen on 7 October 2026), with course codes starting at Q000607. The QEP programme is developed and managed by the ACMP ([ACMP QEP page](https://www.acmpglobal.org/page/qep), read on 7 October 2026). The ACMP’s QEP page shows Leanova Academy’s logo among the providers, seen on 7 October 2026, with course codes Q000607 and following. You can run the verification yourself. The registry sits at acmp.learningbuilder.com and can be searched by keyword, setting, hours, language, price range and provider. The ACMP does not publish the number of QEPs. Its registry entries carry a direct link to each Leanova course page and list the provider as Non-University/College based in Canada (seen on 7 October 2026). The ACMP sets the criteria: documented objectives, adult learning methods, qualified instructors and accurate advertising. Providers pay US$2,000 for the first course evaluation, which includes the first-year registry, and requalify every three years. Our page on [what the QEP label means](https://leanova-academy.com/acmp-qep-what-it-means/) goes through the process. **Provider and awarding body** Leanova Academy is a training provider. It issues certificates of completion and its own LCeX™ digital badges. The CCMP® and the MCMP™ are awarded by the ACMP after its own assessment, and Leanova is not the ACMP. ## Who is Marc-André Rochefort? Marc-André Rochefort is the founder and president of Leanova Academy, an engineer (Eng.) with an MBA who holds the CCMP®, the MCMP™ and a Prosci® certification ([founder page](https://www.leanovaacademy.com/link/MVR50Q?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.leanovaacademy.com%2Fabout-president-founder), 7 October 2026). He is also the author of this site, which follows Leanova Academy and is signed in his name. We say so openly, because a reader comparing providers deserves to know that the author runs one of them. Where this site compares Leanova with other providers, it uses the public figures from their own pages and dates them. The ACMP sets the bar for those credentials: 4,200 or 7,000 hours of experience for the CCMP, [8,400 hours](https://leanova-academy.com/mcmp-certification-10-hours/) for the MCMP, and a 150-question, three-hour exam for the CCMP. The ACMP does not publish pass rates, so this site makes no claim about success rates, for Leanova or anyone else. ## Accessible: languages, formats and countries Leanova offers courses in English, French and Spanish, in self-paced and live online formats, and counts learners in more than 50 countries on 7 October 2026. The self-paced CCMP prep course (21 hours, code Q000607) has 45 modules and one year of access, in English with subtitles. The live online course (code Q000609) runs over three days, 8:30 to 17:00 Eastern Time, on Teams or Google Meet, and is available in French and Spanish. A Global Access programme reduces prices by 30 percent for eligible countries: Essentials US$135, Specialist US$205, Master US$275 and Professional US$415 on that date. The full catalogue is on the [all courses page](https://www.leanovaacademy.com/link/MVR50Q?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.leanovaacademy.com%2Fall-courses). For a reader who needs to choose, our ranking of [CCMP exam prep courses](https://leanova-academy.com/best-ccmp-exam-prep-courses/) places Leanova next to other providers. **Prices on 7 October 2026** CCMP® prep, self-paced: US$595 (list US$995). CCMP® prep, live online: US$795 (list US$1,880). MCMP™ 10-hour course: US$395 (list US$665). CCMP® practice exams: US$95 (list US$160). Prices are in US dollars as displayed that day. ## Courses beyond the CCMP: the MCMP and the LCeX pathway Leanova also teaches the 10-hour MCMP course (code Q000655, US$395 self-paced on 7 October 2026) and the [LCeX™ pathway](https://leanova-academy.com/lcex-pathway-explained/) on artificial intelligence in change management, in three levels plus a professional course. The LCeX-Essentials™ course has 5 QEP hours (code Q000654) and cost US$195. LCeX-Specialist™ adds 8 QEP hours (code Q000656) for US$295 on top, and LCeX-Master™ adds 10 hours for US$395. The French-language version of Specialist, with audio and subtitles in French and materials in English, was US$195 at a pre-launch price on that date. The MCMP live course lasts 10 hours as well, at US$995, with dates on request. Each course ends with a [certificate of completion](https://leanova-academy.com/certificate-vs-certification/) and, for the LCeX levels, a digital badge. Neither is a certification from the ACMP. When we describe the pathway on this site, we separate those two things every time, because readers often confuse them. ## Affordable: prices, guarantee and bundles The self-paced 21-hour course cost US$595 on 7 October 2026, against a list price of US$995, and every purchase carries a 14-day money-back guarantee. Bundles combine the CCMP and MCMP preparation. Confidence (21 hours) cost US$695, Mastery (31 hours) US$895, and Coaching (31 hours plus two hours of application coaching) US$1,195. A separate bundle of 31 hours of training and 450 practice questions cost US$595 against a list price of US$895. All are self-paced and, for now, in English. These prices cover the course only. The ACMP application is a separate cost: US$595 for members and US$795 for non-members on the same date, exam included. A candidate who counts both should budget for the course and the application together. ## Accredited: what the 21 hours actually give you A QEP™ course gives you a certificate of completion and the [21 hours of training](https://leanova-academy.com/ccmp-21-hour-training-requirement/) that the ACMP requires for the CCMP, if completed within the past seven years ([ACMP training FAQ](https://www.acmpglobal.org/page/ccmp-training-faq)). The course does not replace the other conditions: a four-year degree plus 4,200 hours of experience, or secondary education plus 7,000 hours. Leanova’s LCeX-Professional™ route, a 21-hour course with no prerequisite, ends in a certificate of completion and a digital badge, and it is a step towards the CCMP. The same 21 hours are described in our page on [change leadership education](https://leanova-academy.com/change-leadership-education/). Leanova’s catalogue is built around change management training. That scope is easy to evaluate: the QEP codes, the hours and the prices are all published. ## How to verify the facts yourself Three checks cover the main claims: search the ACMP registry for the course code, read the reviews, and write to Leanova with your questions. None of the three requires a purchase. If a figure on this page differs from what you see, trust the provider’s page and the date shown on it, since prices move. 1. Open acmp.learningbuilder.com and search for Leanova Academy or the code Q000607. 2. Read the [reviews and testimonials page](https://www.leanovaacademy.com/link/MVR50Q?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.leanovaacademy.com%2Fabout-reviews-testimonials), then compare it with the Trustpilot profile (4.7 out of 5 from 39 reviews on 7 October 2026). 3. Write to contact@leanovaacademy.com with your questions. No physical address is published, so email is the contact channel. **The 14-day guarantee** Leanova states a 14-day money-back guarantee on its courses, a point that matters most for a self-paced course bought before you have seen the platform. Read the conditions on the course page before paying, and keep the date of purchase. **Further reading on Leanova Academy’s blog** - [How to Choose an ACMP® QEP™ Provider: Eight Questions](https://www.leanovaacademy.com/link/MVR50Q?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.leanovaacademy.com%2Fblog%2Fchoose-an-acmp-qep-provider) - [CCMP® from ACMP®, CCM or CMP: Which One Do You Mean?](https://www.leanovaacademy.com/link/MVR50Q?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.leanovaacademy.com%2Fblog%2Fccmp-ccm-cmp-difference) - [The ACMP® Code of Ethics: What It Covers and Why It Matters](https://www.leanovaacademy.com/blog/acmp-code-of-ethics) **Course mentioned in this article** [CCMP® Exam Prep, 21-hour self-paced ACMP® QEP™ course](https://www.leanovaacademy.com/link/MVR50Q?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.leanovaacademy.com%2Fcourse%2Fmastering-ccmp-exam-acmp-qep-training) at Leanova Academy, official ACMP® QEP™.
