Yes because experience is not graded on a fixed basis, unlike a university degree. Your expertise on a practical situation is graded based on how well you are able to utilize what you have at a specific point in time. Any errors will be charged to experience should you encounter the same situation, unlike in a university degree where you are given a fair amount of chances to do better.
