Validation of Acquired Knowledge

Validation of Professional and Personal Acquired Knowledge (VAPP)

The Validation of Professional and Personal Acquired Knowledge (VAPP) is the possibility of integrating higher education with a view to obtaining a national diploma without having the required title. This is therefore the recognition of his professional career (professional experience) in line with the desired diploma which will be highlighted.

For example : You would like to join a master 1 and you do not have the required diploma (no license 3^rd year or not of Bac+3 level), however you have professional experience that coincides with the desired training. You will therefore have this experience recognized by creating a VAPP file.

Who is concerned ?

The VAPP makes it possible to recognize: 

• Any training followed by the candidate in a public or private training establishment or structure, whatever the terms, duration and method of sanction;
• Professional experience acquired during a salaried or self-employed activity, or an internship,
• Knowledge and skills acquired outside of any training system…

It is aimed at any adult who wishes to resume a course of study whatever their status (employee, job seeker, liberal profession, self-employed, volunteer, etc.).

The candidate must be at least 20 years old.

He must avoir interrupted their initial training for at least two years, the period is three years in the event of failure in the same training. (Decree n ° 2013-756 of August 19, 2013)

The candidate must prove his or her eligibility by presenting any document proving professional experience of at least 3 years, related to the targeted training.
