Certification trajectory
Upon completing the VM0 training, you might consider advancing to the VM1 training. The VM1 training, equips you to become an effective VE-team member and lays the groundwork for facilitation roles. Meanwhile, VM0 offers fundamental principles applicable to your everyday tasks and projects. Formal certification training into value engineering begins with VM1 and subsequent levels. If you want you may also start directly with the VM1 without VM0.
