VAE Legal Background
The VAE is now included in the French Code of Education (code l' Education de la République Française) at Partie législative, Troisième partie, Livre VI, Titre Ier, Chapitre III, Section 2, Art. L613-3 à L613-6.
It is important to note that Art L- 613-4 states: "The validation produces the same effects as success with the test or the proof control of knowledge and the aptitudes which it replaces." The degrees and diplomas obtained through the VAE process are exactly the same and any mention of the VAE is prohibited in order to fight a possible unlawful discrimination.
The VAE decision is done on file after interview (electronic or physical) by a VAE Jury made of Professors belonging to the University.

—Abigail Adams (1744–1818)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
