The optimal conducting of the validation of nonformal and informal learning entails, according to the European documents, the supporting of candidates. The article presents, in its first part three case studies from different national contexts, Romania, France and Italy, focused on the counselling activity, In its second part, the article analyses the perception of a counselling framework possibly to be implemented in the human resources departments of Romanian companies as a complementary manner to the counselling offered by accredited evaluation centres.
