Validation of Acquired Experience (VAE) Programs

At GIR Institute, we believe in recognizing the knowledge and skills you’ve gained through professional experience. That’s why we offer Validation of Acquired Experience (VAE) programs in partnership with a renowned university in France, providing you with a unique opportunity to transform your expertise into an internationally recognized degree.

What is the VAE?

VAE, or Validation of Acquired Experience, is a process that allows professionals to earn a formal qualification based on their work experience, knowledge, and accomplishments. It’s an ideal pathway for individuals who have developed substantial expertise in their field but may not hold a formal academic credential.

This initiative is governed by French legislation, making the qualifications recognized not only in France but also across Europe and beyond.

Our Partnership in France

GIR Institute collaborates with a prestigious French institution to offer VAE programs that meet the highest academic and professional standards. This partnership ensures that our students benefit from:

  • Accredited Qualifications: Degrees issued by a French university, recognized throughout the European Union.

  • Rigorous Evaluation: A structured process to validate your professional experience through a detailed portfolio and assessment by academic experts.

  • International Recognition: Degrees that open doors to career opportunities and further education globally.


Who Can Apply?

VAE programs are designed for professionals with at least three years of relevant work experience in their field. Whether you’re in business, technology, social sciences, or another area, this program provides a formal pathway to validate your expertise.

How It Works

  1. Eligibility Assessment: Begin with a consultation to determine if your experience qualifies for a VAE program.

  2. Portfolio Preparation: Compile evidence of your professional achievements, skills, and contributions.

  3. Evaluation by Experts: Your portfolio will be reviewed by an academic committee to assess its alignment with the degree requirements.

  4. Degree Award: Upon successful validation, you’ll receive an official qualification from our French partner university.
