Validation of prior learning (VAE-VAP-VES)
Validation of prior learning is divided into 3 distinct systems
Validation of acquired experience (vae)
VAE consists in obtaining professional certification (diploma, professional title or certificate of professional qualification) by valorizing your professional experience. You don't take any courses, but you do prepare a Livret II outlining your skills based on your experience.
Example: Claire has 5 years' professional experience as a sports organizer, and can apply for a Licence Professionnelle Éducation et Motricité by VAE.
VAE is managed by the Continuing Education Department.
validation of professional and personal experience (vapp)
The VAPP is a system that gives access to university training without the diploma normally required.
Example :a person with a BAC+2 and significant professional experience can apply for a VAPP to enroll in a Master's program.
VAPPs are managed by the Continuing Education Department
validation of advanced studies (ves)
The VES is a system that enables students to obtain all or part of a diploma by recognizing their studies in higher education in France or abroad.
VES are managed by the UFR STAPS VES office.
Contact the office in charge of the VES you wish to validate for further information.

ves stages
Step 1: Dossier to complete
Send this file by e-mail to the VES office for your equivalence request.
- In the same calendar year, you can submit 3 VES applications for different diplomas, regardless of the establishment.
- You can only submitone application for the same diploma in the same calendar year.
File creation
Your file includes :
- Diplomas, certifications and training certificates
- Any other supporting documents enabling the jury to assess the nature and level of your studies
The component examines the admissibility of your application.
- Completed applications must be submitted NO LATER THAN April 30.
Step 2: Administrative registration
If the VES application is administratively admissible :
- An administrative registration must be made as soon as possible (deadline mid-May): information provided by the school.
- The complete file (VES application + proof of registration) is sent to the members of the jury.
- An interview is organized with the jury, which meets in June.
Stage 3: Interview with the validation panel
- Juries meet in June.
The component's validation jury examines your file and interviews you. It determines the knowledge and skills required for equivalence with the diploma in question.
The deliberation may give rise to either :
- to full validation
- partial validation
- to refusal
Recommendations and advice are given at the end of the interview.
STEP 4: Application validation
The component sends your file and the jury's decision to the Direction des Formations et Enseignements (DFE).
It sends you your notification, issues your certificate of achievement, and then your diploma if validation is complete.
If the validation is partial, it registers the validated Teaching Units.
