At this stage the validation process begins and focuses on identifying what an individual already knows
and what are the skills and gaps in relation to the requirements for a qualification or for planning
further development.

At this stage the certifying authority has the possibility to provide support to the validation advisor,
but this is not obligatory.

This stage aims to:

 better prepare for the verification stage,
 allow for easy planning of further learning in order to fill the gaps in the competences that are
necessary to obtain a given qualification.
