VALIDATION OF ACQUIRED EXPERIENCE

What is VAE?

The skills developed during your professional experience are not always crowned by a diploma. However, Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience (VAE) has become a veritable socio-cultural revolution. By opening up new avenues for professional development and mobility, it enables everyone, regardless of age, level of education or status, to see their skills acquired in the field officially recognized and obtain a diploma.

 

SUPMODE offers a state-certified in-house diploma, RNCP38783 "Fashion Designer & Brand Development" - Level 6.

Who can apply for VAE?

VAE enables anyone engaged in working life to obtain professional certification by validating experience acquired in a professional and/or extra-professional capacity.

The VAE "Fashion Designer & Brand Development" is therefore open to :

  • Private-sector employees with at least 2 years' professional experience in fashion design and brand development.
  • Job seekers
  • Former SUPMODE students who have not completed their BACHELOR 3 Fashion Designer and Brand Development course

 

The experience must be relevant to the targeted certification.

 

Please note: you may submit no more than one application in the same calendar year for the same diploma, and no more than three applications in the same calendar year for different qualifications.

Support right from the start:

Step 1: Skills diagnosis 

Identify the skills you have acquired through your experience in relation to your project.

Step 2: Course design 

Definition of needs in terms of individual or group support, training modules and possible immersion periods.

Stage 3: Support 

Regular follow-up to help you draw up your validation file, then prepare you for your presentation to the jury.

Financing 

VAE price: €3,200

 

You can obtain financial assistance for your VAE, notably from your employer, a skills operator (OPCO) or the regional council.

Submission of admissibility file :

The 1st step in the VAE process is to fill in the Cerfa 12818*02 form to submit your application.

This file consists of the following items:

  • Documents justifying the duration of the candidate's activities
  • Certificates justifying the duration of on-the-job training (initial or continuing)
  • Certifications or parts of certifications obtained
  • Specific documents requested by the certification body

  1. You will need to compile a file containing the following information:
  • Description of your skills to be validated
  • Skills and knowledge applied during your experience
  • Any additional training you have received

The validation request is examined by a jury made up of at least 25% professionals.

You must send this file by return e-mail.

 

  1. Jury evaluation

The jury verifies that your achievements correspond to the skills, knowledge and competencies of the diploma you wish to obtain. 

 

à If validation is total :

If your prior learning corresponds to the required skills, aptitudes and knowledge, the jury will decide on total validation and award you the diploma or certification. You will receive an attestation of competence indicating this.

 

The jury's decision is notified by post from the head of your higher education establishment.

 

 

à If validation is partial :

If your prior learning does not fully correspond to the skills, aptitudes and knowledge required for the certification in question, the jury will decide on partial validation.

You will receive a notification indicating which items require further assessment.

You will also receive a certificate of competence indicating the parts of certification you have definitively obtained. These parts of the certification may be waived if the rules laid down by the certification body provide for total or partial equivalence.

The jury's decision is notified by post from the head of your higher education establishment.

 

à If validation is refused :

If your achievements do not correspond to the level of skill, aptitude or knowledge required, the jury will refuse to award you the diploma.

The jury's decision is notified by post from the head of your higher education establishment 

 

VAE leave :

Any person (employee, civil servant, etc.) can apply to their employer for leave to prepare for the validation of acquired experience (VAE), or to take part in the validation tests. To do so, you need to provide proof of one year's professional experience (1,607 hours) relevant to the targeted certification.

The maximum duration of leave is 24 hours of working time (consecutive or not) per validation.
