Value Study Logbook

One line for every value study you take part in, signed while people still remember it. Later certification applications ask for this kind of evidence.

Professional bodies ask for real study experience. For example, the Institute of Value Management's PVM asks for evidence of taking part in two value studies, and SAVE International's CVS asks for study experience too. Check each body's current rules before you apply. This log just keeps the facts in one place.

Value studies

#	Dates	Product or project	Your role	Phases (1–6)	Hours	What came out (ideas, savings approved)	Sponsor name and signature

Roles: team member · assistant facilitator · facilitator · specialist · sponsor. Phases: 1 Information · 2 Function analysis · 3 Creative · 4 Evaluation · 5 Development · 6 Presentation.

Training and reading

Date	Course, event or book	Provider	Hours	Evidence (certificate ID, link)

Tips: ask the sponsor to sign each line when the study ends. Don't write down confidential figures: a range or a percentage is enough (“saving approved, about 12% of product cost”). The VE Academy counts as training, not as a study: log it here with your certificate ID.
