The article describes how, in the phase of seeking for individual competence recognition, a student is created a meaningful learning path availing of his/ her earlier acquired competences. According to our experiences, the phase of seeking for individualization is the most important stage in the whole system. It creates prospects to the student about his/her learning path and a strategy to the supervisors about the meaningful ways of acting with each student. The present article reports of the enquiry which measured the appropriateness of the seeking phase actions. The target group is composed of the students who started their education for vocational skills demonstration supervisors in 2010 and 2011 and finished it by September 2011. 93, 8% of the respondents agreed fully or nearly fully on the statement that they had demonstrated their competence according to their individual learning plan. The plan had been accepted before the start of the skills competence demonstration, and its realization had been followed by ongoing supervision. Consequently, we can notice that the learning path created at the beginning of the studies was realized. A well planned phase of seeking for individual competence recognition seems to have led to a successful outcome among the respondents.
