Summary
Once your date of defence is known, you can request a VLAG Training and Education Certificate.

In the final phase of the PhD trajectory, the portfolio function 'portfolio approval' is used to request the VLAG Training and Education certificate. In the manual, you can find the information on how to ask for approval of your completed portfolio.
Approval procedure Hora Finita portfolio by PhD Supervisor
When the PhD candidate requests a certificate the first supervisor will receive a request to look at the portfolio overview and agree or disagree with the request. We only need confirmation that the supervisor explicitly approves the overview of the training completed; VLAG will still do the check whether the requirements have been met, and whether the credits allocated to these activities follow our rules and guidelines.
Approval procedure after Supervisor approval by VLAG Graduate School
VLAG will check your list of activities, change information if necessary (for instance the number of credits, the category) or ask for clarification. We will then approve the Portfolio and prepare your certificate, which will be handed out to you at your graduation.
Overview of completed training in the printed thesis
Once approved by the education coordinator, a simplified version of the final list of educational activities can be published in your thesis according to these guidelines:
- Mention the 4 categories
- Do not include the number of credits
- Include the organiser of the course or meeting
The title of this page in the printed thesis should be: “Overview of completed training activities”.
