Recognising your experience

What is VPL?

Validation of prior learning is an evaluation of skills and knowledge acquired through work-based learning.

It can potentially shorten your study pathway. After completing the validation process, participants are offered the opportunity to enter an education programme and complete studies in their trade.

Education and career counsellors can assist with study and career planning.

Alzette University participates in the Training planner project. Companies can arrange a visit from a consultant who specialises in on-the-job training.

The consultant assesses training needs at the company and analyses them in co-operation with managers and staff. The project planner then creates a training plan as the foundation for strategic human resource development.
