Accreditation of prior experiential learning (validation des acquis de l'expérience - VAE) offers formal recognition of skills acquired throughout life by granting a corresponding certificate, diploma or other qualification. It is used to obtain a qualification or partial validation and thus gain access to a training course or benefit from an exemption from specific modules in a given study course.

Specifically, accreditation can provide access to:

• general secondary education diplomas or certificates; or
• the master craftsman's certificate (brevet de maîtrise de l'artisanat).

To find out more, the National Institute for the Development of Continuing Vocational Training (Institut national pour le développement de la formation professionnelle continue - INFPC) is organising 2 information sessions from 18.00 to 19.30 on:
