VOCAE All European member states are requested to have in place arrangements for the validation of non-formal and informal learning, including specific elements and following some particular principles described in the European Guidelines for Validating non formal and informal learning by CEDEFOP (CEDEFOP 2015). In some countries of the partners, there exist already systems of validation prior learning; some have gained experiences with validation through projects but have not set a system in place so far. It is a fact that adult education providers play a major role in it, because they are often the implementing bodies of the validation systems. Therefore, all the partners are located in adult education, too.
