You are Best Value B (+) certified and are (or have been) involved in one or more Best Value projects. Take your understanding of the Best Value approach to the next level – Best Value Expert (A-certification).
The Best Value Expert training is a logic continuation of your Best Value Masterclass (B+ certification). Let us guide you through the Best Value phases of the project(s) you are (or have been) working on. Discover how to best apply Best Value in your own practice. Learn to reflect on what is happening (or has happened) in your project(s) using the Best Value Philosophy. At the end of the Best Value Expert Class, you will write an article about your Best Value project in which you demonstrate your understanding of the Best Value principles and your knowledge of putting Best Value into practice. Finally, you will present your article to the Best Value Certification Board.
Reflection, intervision and coaching by A+ certified trainers are key elements in the Best Value Expert Class.
