On the basis of at least 1 year's full-time salaried or voluntary work experience, VAE enables people to gain access to a diploma or professional certification listed in the Répertoire national des certifications professionnelles (RNCP). VAE is an official recognition of skills through a certification.

All the professional skills acquired in the course of a salaried, self-employed or voluntary activity directly related to the requirements of the diploma in question may be taken into account for the purposes of validation. For the application to be admissible, it is necessary to have carried out and be able to prove that you have carried out an activity for at least 1 year related to the diploma in question, on a continuous or discontinuous basis.

VAE is a tool for securing career paths. It can help you to:

• Recognise your experience and skills
• Evolve in your job
• Shorten your training path
• Apply for a competitive examination or join a training course that requires a prior diploma
• Obtain specific certification to comply with regulatory conditions linked to the practice of a profession

Phase 3 support, which lasts between 3 and 6 months on average, is optional and subject to a fee.

The application for admissibility (livret 1) must be made electronically at www.francevae.fr. To do this, it is strongly recommended that you attend an information meeting to find out about the procedure.

To register for a free, no-obligation information meeting:

• in departments 04 - 05 - 13 - 84 Registration
