Best Value Masterclass
Get started with Best Value in an interactive, compact, and efficient program
This B+ certified course is interactive and focused on applying Best Value to real-life situations and cases. There is also ample opportunity for the exchange of experiences between participants.
The Best Value Masterclass B+ training is a logical continuation of your Best Value Basics Course (B Certification). It deepens and extends your Best Value knowledge so that you can apply Best Value independently. A considerable part of the training includes the philosophy – the foundation of Best Value – which is necessary for successful application of the Best Value approach. The training is concluded with an exam that leads to an internationally accredited B+ certificate.
What is the essence?
Spread out over two days, you will learn more about the Best Value principles and gain tools to apply the methodology in practice. We do this via cases and by exchanging experiences between and among participants and trainers. In an interactive way, we prepare you for the exam with which we conclude every day. 95% of participants pass immediately.
The Best Value Masterclass focuses on the principles behind Best Value, as well as the approach.
