Ready for takeoff
Greetings. In this video,
I invite you to explore with me
the different coaching steps.
Be assured that no matter the type
of certification you are preparing
the steps are the same.
Let's explore together those of DAVA.
The academic measure for validating prior learning.
This is the certifying body for national education qualifications.
DAVA guides you
during each of the three steps
of your VAE project:
Booklet 1, Booklet 2, the jury
Booklet 1
In this first step
you are going to draft Booklet 1
Find a blank form in the "Going Further" section.
This booklet, also called the eligibility application
is a record of proof..
It is going to contain all the proof
of your experience:
attended trainings, copies of your diplomas,
a reference from your employer,
in sum, all official documents showing your experience.
Once drafted, you will submit Booklet 1.
DAVA will then check to see if your experience is in alignment with the targeted degree.
They may also suggest an other diploma
better matched to your experience or the retaking of courses.
The approval of your request is called admissibility.
It makes your request to the VAE official
with the certifying authority.
You will receive the admissibility document at home by mail.
This official document is valid for one year.
A year during which you will work on booklet 2.
We estimate it takes eight to twelve months to complete a VAE.
Now with my experience on the subject
I would advise you not to take too long
because it is not unusual to become discouraged especially if one is managing
other things:
a job, children
a sport activity, et cetera.
Let's now go to Booklet 2.
In the section "To Go Further"
You will find a blank copy.
You will note that the layout of the document
is already done.
You just need to answer the questions.
But don't misunderstand.
Booklet 2, although already laid out
requires significant work.
In the national directory of professional certifications
the RNCP
Each diploma is the sum total of several learning credits..
It could be speaking one or two foreign languages.
a technical know-how, legal or sales, for example.
the goal of Booklet 2 is
to show by way
of four activities from your experience that they cover
all the learning credits of the diploma you are targeting.
An activity
is the detailed description of an action
that you have performed or still perform
and that is evidence that you have acquired
the skill you claim to have.
The cited activity has to be significant enough
because you will have to have many elements to describe it.
For example, you start a VAE for a business degree
and one of your activities could be the setup
for a promotional activity and its impact on sales.
So you are going to describe what you have set up
Why? With whom?
What method?
What tools? What results?
Et cetera.
Don't be worried.
DAVA organizes a meeting with the certification expert
whose main mission
is to help you to identify
your four activities.
You will also find in the "To Go Further" section
a chart of conforming activities.
It will help you to frame
your activities,
identify when and how
you acquired this skill.
This document that you will have to fill out for your meeting
with the certification expert
is a very valuable tool. I advise you to give
it the most attention.
You understand.
You are not alone.
DAVA manages and facilitates group workshops also.
A methodological workshop,
exploration of Booklet 2
Two work method workshops on the activities
a preparation workshop
for the jury interview
they also facilitate individual workshops
for a more detailed followup of your file
It can sometimes also be done remotely by mail or by telephone.
In order for it to be corrected,
your booklet 2 must be sent
to your coach as your draft progresses.
Don't wait until you have finished to send your draft.
Follow his valuable advice.
He knows what the jury expects.
Your coach is not there to judge you
but to guide you as best as possible
right up until the jury.
He is not there to draft Booklet 2 on your behalf either.
Once finished, you will submit Booklet 2.
DAVA will receive it and will register you for the defense before the jury.
This is the last step.
The defense before the jury. The interview with the jury.
lasts one hour.
You present your case for 15 minutes
and the remaining 45 minutes are for question and answers.
The jury consists of professors
and at least one fourth of the members
are representatives of the relevant profession.
The objective is to verify the acquired skills
and to evaluate the candidate's professionalism
against expectations
for the targeted certification.
Hence the attendance of career professionals in the jury.
Finally, the jury comes to a decision. It's not a number grade like in school.
So, no distinction of "good" or "very good" either.
The evaluation is made on the quality of your case file
and your oral defense.
So it is a comprehensive evaluation.
The jury has 3 options:
It can then validate the sum total of your learning credits -
you have the diploma.
Only a few? The validation is partial.
All the validated credits earned are permanent.
In most cases, the results are given with a written comment
of recommendations to follow for validation of remaining credits
or none.
In this case they also give
more thorough explanations.
You will not know the outcome of your performance
right after the jury.
Their findings are sent directly to your home.
Yes, Yes. Even the certification.
So there are the 3 steps to know to validate a VAE.
See you soon!
