How Can You Apply for a Higher Degree Diploma through the VAE Evaluation Method?
 To obtain a higher degree diploma through the Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience (VAE) process in France, Switzerland, follow these steps: 
 
 1. Determine Eligibility: To qualify for VAE, you must have at least one year (or 1,600 hours) of relevant professional experience in the field related to the diploma you seek. 
 2. Choose the Right Diploma and Institution: Research and select the degree level and institution that best match your experience. Many universities and institutions offer diplomas through the VAE process. 
 3. Submit an Application: Contact the institution’s VAE department to begin the application process. You’ll need to provide details about your experience, motivations, and the diploma you aim to earn. 
 4. Prepare the Dossier: Compile a portfolio, known as a “dossier,” that documents your work experience, skills, achievements, and relevant responsibilities. This dossier serves as evidence for your eligibility.
 5. Interview or Assessment with a VAE Jury: If your dossier is accepted, you may be invited for an interview or assessment with a panel (jury) to further demonstrate your competencies. 
 6. Receive a Decision: The jury will decide to award the diploma, grant partial validation (with specific coursework required), or deny the application.  
 
Following these steps can help you obtain a recognized and notarized degree diploma, complete with an apostille, based on your professional experience through the VAE pathway.

FAQs: 
 
1. What does VAE mean? 
VAE, or Validation of Acquired Experience, is a system that allows individuals to obtain a degree diploma by validating their professional experience and skills instead of completing traditional coursework. This approach is designed for professionals with extensive work experience who wish to formalize their expertise into an academic qualification. 
 
 2. Who is qualified? 
Eligibility for the VAE program generally requires substantial relevant work experience in the field for which the degree is sought. Ideal candidates are mid-career professionals who can demonstrate a track record of accomplishments and expertise in their industry. 
 
 3. Are there any age or work experience limits? 
There is no strict age limit for the VAE program. However, candidates are typically expected to have a minimum of 5-10 years of professional experience related to the degree they are pursuing. Each applicant is reviewed individually to ensure they meet the necessary experience level. 
 
 4. Do I have to study? 
The VAE process emphasizes validation of your existing knowledge and skills rather than traditional study. Instead of classes, you will present evidence of your professional experience, skills, and accomplishments through a structured evaluation process, which may include submitting documents, participating in interviews, and completing assessments.  
 
5. If studying, is this an online learning program? 
The VAE system itself is not a study program but a validation process. However, if additional learning or skill development is required, SGSB can provide online resources or supplementary courses to help you meet the requirements. 
 
 6. How long will it take to obtain the MBA degree diploma? 
The duration of the VAE process depends on several factors, including the completeness of your documentation and the specific requirements of the program. Generally, it may take between minimum three months to maximum six months to complete the evaluation and obtain your degree diploma.
 
 7. What documents do you need? 
Typically, we will require: • A detailed resume/CV outlining your work experience and accomplishments. • Copies of any certificates, licenses, or relevant qualifications. • Documentation of significant projects, reports, or portfolios that demonstrate your expertise. • References from employers or professional contacts who can verify your experience. 
 
8. What’s the Process and Next Steps?
 The VAE process includes several key stages: 
– Initial Consultation: We start with a consultation to assess your qualifications and confirm your eligibility for the VAE program.
– Document Submission: You will collect and submit relevant documents to demonstrate your professional experience. 
– Evaluation and Assessment: Our VAE team will review your materials and may conduct interviews to validate your skills and expertise.
