Faculty of Economics Welcome

Access to training via VAPP (Validation des Acquis Personnels et Professionnels)

The VAPP enables people who do not have the required qualifications to access training by validating their professional experience, training courses and personal achievements.

The following may give rise to validation: studies (initial or continuing training), foreign qualifications or diplomas, professional experience acquired during a salaried or self-employed activity or an internship, knowledge and skills acquired outside any training system.

What are the requirements?

• Be over 20 years of age on the planned date of resumption of studies
• If you do not have a baccalauréat, you must have interrupted your initial training for at least 2 years.
• Demonstrate the personal and professional skills required to follow the training course.
• If you are unsuccessful in your course of study, integrated through the VAPP procedure, you need to provide proof of 3 years' interruption before you can reapply.

AtUniversité Grenoble Alpes, VAPP is free of charge.
