MOV Training | Management Of Value

Introduction

The Knowledge Academy MoV course materials and trainers are accredited by BCS and are based on the HM Government’s Best Practice Guide on Management of Value. They include one practice exam each for Foundation and Practitioner levels, made available by BCS.

In addition, for the Practitioner level, the materials include a case study and pro forma handouts to help delegates complete exercises based on the case study.

Both two day courses (Foundation and Practitioner) are intensive training events which require delegates to undertake approximately 15h of pre-course work as outlined below.

MoV pre-course work

This work consists of reading through chapters one (Introduction) and two (principles) at least twice, highlighting important points as appropriate.

Delegates should also familiarise themselves with the structure and content of the MoV guide and should take a good look at the glossary pp 135 to 144 where they can check their understanding of key concepts and terminology used in relation to Management of Value.

In addition, delegates will be required to complete a MINIMUM of 2 hours homework each evening which will be set by the instructor.

Prerequisites

Candidates must achieve a pass at Foundation level before completing the Practitioner examination.
