In France, an Accredited Diploma (Diplovis) (in French: "Diplôme Visé") is a national higher education diploma delivered by public or private Grandes Écoles and colleges (écoles supérieures) and not necessarily linked to a university degree.
For certain Grandes Écoles or colleges, it may also be accompanied by a bachelor's or master's degree, adding further recognition.
[2][3] This visa from the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation is state recognition of specific training.
Program content, admissions panels and diploma-awarding commissions are reviewed by the French government.
Accreditation is granted by decree of the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, for a maximum renewable period of 6 years.
