This report is produced by the Nordic Network for Adult Learning (NVL) through combined efforts of the Guidance and Validation networks. It provides information and discussion on how guidance in the process of validation of prior learning (VPL) is carried out within the Nordic region. The purpose of the report is to establish a common ground for discussing and developing guidance in validation, which will hopefully be a step towards seeking opportunities for improving the quality of guidance in Nordic validation systems. Coordinators for the report development were Fjóla María Lárusdóttir and Arnheiður Gígja Guðmundsdóttir (Education and Training Service Center in Iceland). Through this link to the publication.
