Hello!
Has anyone here successfully navigated the French VAE (Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience) process—specifically through public universities or RNCP-certified institutions?
To be clear, I am not talking about the "private VAE" or "life experience" degrees offered by unaccredited private schools/diploma mills.
I'm talking about the pathway codified under French law, the one that awards the exact same state diploma as if you have attended the classes there by validating your work experience. The ones that are registered in the RNCP (you can look at francecompetence.fr and vae.gouv.fr)
So, two questions:
1. Has anyone did the whole process in English?
2. Did you manage to have the process entirely remotely?
Thank you in advance!
