For those interested in the legit French VAE

The translation is goofy, but you get the jist, eh?

I am fascinated by this idea. Has anyone gone this direction with any success? I would love to receive some credit for my 30 years in the martial arts business as well and my work in the theatre. I wonder...

 

This is a clearer translation...

Wish I knew French....yow!

You might want to spell out what you find fascinating about it...

Mainly this....

as they say here...i.e. that a teacher with a bachelors degree may be evaluated legitimately for a terminal level degree...I am wondering just how functional the degree would be in a either an academic or a non-academic setting.
Hope that helps.

Here is a better site from a major French University about the very subject...

Anyone?

 

They do indeed have a different word in France for everything... Is this really similar to the habilitation doctorate? Can't tell. It seems that the answer to your question may lie in missing web link behind this text: "Regulations for the validation of professional knowledge."

I do find that interesting. I hope someone can shed some more light on the subject.

If you don't speak French then you will have a very hard time explaining your professional and academic credentials in a place like France where most people refuse to speak English (much more in an academic context). I think I recall it is actually posible to earn MBA degrees from real, brick and mortar universities in certain cases. Not sure if this is a route I would choose for an MBA though for I would expect lots of red tape.
