Recognition of prior learning and experience (V.A.E)

Under French law any person with professional experience may, under certain conditions, benefit from recognition of prior learning and experience (V.A.E - validation des acquis de l’expérience). His or her experience enables him or her to obtain recognition in order to advance professionally.
