Result

Elements of V.A.E.system

Characteristics of the VAE system It is not a scholar test : it is the proof of past

experience which is validated as a competence

An expert on the subject assesses the quality of the proof and the process of implementation of the skill

The description of the proofs which constitutes the VAE file is also a level proof of performance in term of capacity of abstraction required at higher educational level (university type)

Conclusion :Methodological remarks 1 : Determine what skills each unit of

learning or apprenticeship develops and at which level of the taxonomy

2 : The time spent in learning does not mean the level of performance obtained or the credits to allocate

3 : Determine the evaluation mode or the acquisition way of the skills
