The following forms of recognition are distinguished: certification, validation, identification. Validation means the confirmation by the competent authority of the results of study acquired by a person in formal, non-formal and informal education. Validation of the results of non-formal adult education involves identification, evaluation and recognition of knowledge and skills an adult person acquires during his/her life.
