The Procedure

The Validation of Prior Learning (VAE) is an individual right that allows any professional with at least one year of experience (a prerequisite) to apply for validation of that experience in order toobtain the title of Interior Architect (RNCP 38011, Level 7) from the Académie Charpentier.

Please note: Following the enactment of the Labor Market Act of December 21, 2022, the right to recognition of prior learning was strengthened in 2023. Our procedure and Workbook 2 will be updated as the new regulatory provisions take effect. 

The Charpentier Academy is Qualiopi-certified for its training programs (L. 6313-1 – 1°) and its programs for the recognition of prior learning, under the conditions set forth in Book IV (L. 6313-1 – 3°)
