Certification Levels

 

In the UK, there are three levels of recognised certification, based on experience and knowledge:

 

• Certificated Value Analyst (CVA) - UK only
• Professional in Value Management (PVM) - (Europe). The scheme seeks to create a qualification of Professional in Value
• Management (PVM). This qualification signals competence to lead value studies in a variety of environments and contribute to the development of VM strategies.
• Trainer in Value Management (TVM) - (Europe). In order to develop competence to train to an appropriate standard, the qualification of Trainer in Value Management (TVM) has been introduced. This qualification is only available for PVMs with at least 2 years experience, who must then attend a 4 day course on material development and training

Note the IVM Bylaws states the following; -The abbreviations MIVM and FIVM should not be used after a member’s name as they are not supported by a qualification.

Training & Certification Process

 

There are three stages to the VM training namely Foundation, Advanced 1 and Advanced 2. The foundation course can be completed by either a 3-day Face to Face course or by an e-Learning course followed by a 1-day Face to Face session. The Advanced courses are both 3-day Face to Face sessions.

 

 

What help is available to candidates?

In addition to published written information and a help line, the IVM offers a list of 'mentors' who have agreed to guide candidates through the certification process and their professional development.
