Clermont Auvergne INP is Qualiopi certified for its training and VAE (Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience) initiatives.

VAE (Validation of Acquired Experience)

ISIMA Engineering Degree

Anyone performing the functions of a Computer Engineer without having the degree can request to obtain an ISIMA degree through the VAE procedure.

This procedure is managed by Clermont INP. After assembling a file, a jury is convened to decide if the candidate meets the conditions to receive the ISIMA degree.

This validation can be total or partial: it is then necessary to complete the training according to the requested themes.

Admission

VAE is accessible to technicians with a diploma (Bac +2 level degree such as DUT, BTS, or equivalent), able to justify at least 1 year of experience in the targeted specialty. For this, refer to the RNCP 37665 sheet.

Application

• Modalities

– Justify 1 year of activity as an employee, self-employed, or volunteer, continuous or discontinuous, related to the content of the envisioned certification,
– Prove a B2 level of English.
Candidates can only submit one application per calendar year for a given degree and in only one institution, and three applications at most in the context of different degrees.

• Registration

After identifying the degree in line with your experience, complete the welcome file available upon request.
See detailed VAE procedure in the documents to download.

Cost of Training

Public institution not subject to VAT in application of article 261-4-4°a of the General Tax Code.

Before the jury session, the candidate must proceed with their administrative registration at Clermont Auvergne INP and pay the registration fees set for the current year. For information, for the 2024-2025 academic year, these registration fees amount to 618€.
As VAE is part of Book IV-6th Part of the Labor Code, it is considered a continuing education action. As such, it can be covered by the various actors who participate in the expenses of continuing professional training.
