The magnetic poles

Just a quick question. At uni the other day we were studying the use of magnets in electronics, and something interesting was said.

" the northern magnetic pole is constantly moving down the earth and eventually the magnetic poles of the earth will change, south will be north and north will be south. We wont notice the change the only thing that will change is the compass direction"

Is this possible? If so when will it happen?
