VAE
Supported implementation
Process
A controlled process
The Validation of Acquired Experience (VAE) allows skills acquired through professional experience to be taken into account for the purpose of obtaining a diploma, title, or professional qualification certificate listed in the National Directory of Professional Certifications (R.N.C.P).
All types of experience can be taken into account: professional, voluntary, associative, high-level sporting activities, etc., provided that they are related to the certification sought. Candidates must compile a file detailing their activities and the skills they have acquired. They may be assisted by an expert VAE advisor, which is strongly recommended.
