It also sounds very much like the recent PROSCI certificate I received. It's a change management certificate that teaches you the ADKAR methodology for change - ADKAR = Awareness that a change is needed, Desire to make the change, Knowledge to understand how to change, Ability to actually change, and Reinforement to maintain the change. (http://www.change-management.com/tutorial-adkar-overview.htm) Check it out - I think you'd find it interesting.
