Structuring VAE coaching programs: a Follow Lab PRO use case with Mourad Mekrazi
I am Mourad MEKRAZI, consultant, coach, and trainer at Cinetik, a training centre I founded in 2022. Specialised in supporting career transitions and valuing professional paths, I work with individuals and companies looking to turn experience into recognised certifications. My approach combines pedagogical expertise and innovative tools to make every VAE journey smooth, personalised, and effective.
The context
In the case I want to present here, my client Aymeric (the name has been anonymised) is an experienced professional with more than 10 years of expertise as an HVAC maintenance technician, refrigeration engineer, and building electrician.
Despite his recognised know-how in the field, he had no diploma to validate it.
Wanting to advance in his career, he chose VAE to obtain a CAP Électricien, then a BTS Fluides, Énergies, Domotique (FED).
VAE was the ideal solution for him: it let him capitalise on his existing skills without following a long training programme, while securing his professional future.
My role was to help him structure his experience into tangible evidence for the juries.
Support with Follow Lab PRO
Thanks to Follow Lab PRO, I designed a bespoke VAE pathway for Aymeric, making full use of the platform's features:
- ToDo List: To track key steps (writing the portfolio, oral preparation, etc.) and maintain momentum.
- Resource library: Competency frameworks, portfolio templates, and methodological resources made available to empower the client.
- Sharing space: Centralisation of documents (online portfolio, evidence of activity) for simplified synchronous and asynchronous access.
- Instant chat: For responsive exchanges and personalised follow-up between appointments.
This organisation let Aymeric see his progress in real time and focus on what mattered: valuing his expertise.
What changed for me
Follow Lab PRO transformed my day-to-day practice:
- Time saved: Automation of reminders and centralisation of tools (no more hunting for documents or forgotten tasks).
- Professionalism: A dedicated, structured space strengthens the credibility of my support with clients and juries.
- Peace of mind: Visibility over appointments and case progress lets me focus on what matters: people and pedagogical quality.
Today, I could no longer do without this tool to guarantee rigorous, personalised follow-up for every candidate.
What changed for my client
Aymeric particularly appreciated the transparency and smoothness of the support:
"Having a dedicated space where everything is organised let me look ahead to the success of my project with confidence. Resources were always accessible, and task tracking kept me from feeling overwhelmed."
Here is his overall feedback on his coaching experience:
"Having a dedicated space where everything is organised let me look ahead to the success of my project with confidence. Resources were always accessible, and task tracking kept me from feeling overwhelmed."
This testimonial illustrates the impact of support that is both human and tool-enabled.
My recommendation
"Follow Lab PRO is the tool that combines operational efficiency (time saved, organisation) and quality of support (personalised follow-up, professionalism). For our clients, it is the guarantee of a clear, motivating pathway; for us, it is the peace of mind of being able to focus on what matters: their success. An investment that pays for itself from the very first VAE coaching programme!
