The commented work file

The annotated work file is not a compilation of the projects on which the EDA has worked during its professional experience.

It is a record designed to demonstrate to the HMONP committee that the ADE has acquired the fundamental knowledge of the HMONP course.

The work file, of 15 pages maximum, will be organised according to the following 5 themes. These themes will be developed through the missions and professional experiences of the ADE. The dossier may include graphic elements.

Maintenance

The members of the commission for the validation of prior learning and experience may, on the basis of the file examined, propose a hearing for the candidate

The commission will then pay particular attention to understanding the quality and duration of the professional experience and the nature of the personal achievements.

Admission and defence

The ADE admitted for validation of prior learning will have to participate in the supervision set up by his or her study director, write a professional dissertation and give an oral presentation at the end of the session.
