Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

RPL is a way of obtaining an official recognition of your skills and of gaining access to a qualification to facilitate your professional development. RPL helps you to obtain a diploma, a professional title or a professional qualification certificate.

People already in the workforce (employees, job seekers, etc.)

Three processes are possible for the accreditation of your knowledge and skills:

  1. VAPP (Validation des Etudes, Expériences Professionnelles et Acquis Personnels) or Recognition of Personal and Professional Experience: for people who wish to apply for a training programme but do not have the required degree, based on their experience.
  2. VAE (Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience) or Recognition of Prior Learning: for people wishing to obtain a diploma (or part of it)
  3. VES (Validation des Etudes Supérieures) or Recognition of Higher Education Studies: for people wishing to validate higher education studies previously undertaken in France or abroad.

Companies, organisations…

Recognition of Prior Learning supports the personal and professional development of your employees, but it is also an opportunity and a strategic tool for your company. In today’s world, where anticipating the evolution of professions and qualifications is a challenge, RPL is one of the tools which can allow for the forward-looking management of jobs and skills.
