This article accounts for the symposium organized by the Teaching Commission of the AEPU (Association of the Teachers-researchers in Psychology of the Universities) during the 2nd Conference of the FPPP (French Federation of the Psychologists and Psychology, November 2006). It deals with installation of the VAE (Accreditation of Prior and Experiential Learning) in Psychology. The first part presents the general framework of the VAE, and the particular stakes related to the VAE in Psychology. The second part presents some concrete difficulties starting from an illustration at the university of Tours. The third part presents a summary of the report The Accreditation of Prior and Experiential Learning (VAE) in Psychology: from stakes to specific proposals, Co-signed by the AEPU, the FFPP, the SFP (French Society of Psychology) and the SNP (National Trade Union of the Psychologists), as well as the works in progress on Master. One will retain the need for a harmonization of the practices and decisions within the universities, with the risk of avoiding a devalorization of the diplomas of Psychology.
