The article analyzes the state of implementation of the recognition of non-formal education results in higher art education institutions in Ukraine. Based on empirical research conducted among students and faculty of the Department of Academic and Pop Vocal at Borys Grinchenko Kyiv Metropolitan University, the study revealed a low level of awareness among students, the complexity of procedures, and the lack of clear assessment criteria. Leading European practices (Scotland, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands) and the possibilities of their adaptation to the Ukrainian context are considered. Recommendations are proposed for the unification of procedures, the development of methodological materials, the creation of digital tools, and the improvement of faculty qualifications.
