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 are 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)

VES is a system that enables students to obtain a diploma in whole or in part by recognizing the studies they have completed in France or abroad.

Example: Pascal holds several diplomas (DES TENNIS, PBJEPS, Diplôme d'entrainement Physique) and would like to obtain the Licence Entrainement Sportif.

VES are managed by the UFR STAPS VES office.
