We offer to help you with this first step free of charge, it is carried out by videoconference and its duration is one hour.

Once you have decided to engage in a VAE process, you will need to complete the admissibility file in which you will have to prove that you have the required number of hours in relation to the requested diploma.

Your request can relate to the whole (except certain diplomas) or to part of the diploma.

For this step, we support you to define the best match between experience, diploma and certifier.  

We help you to draft your admissibility file using appropriate tools: methodological guides, face-to-face interviews, proofreading, contacts with the certifier.
