Qualification system in Korea has been developed to be more important and prevalent as an objective tool to measure ones ability in work place.

Second chapter identifies the rationale and the issues presented in previous studies. In addition, this chapter examined the theoretical concepts related to qualification system through various literatures. Based on these analyses, It summarizes the current status of qualification system and derives the specific issues to be addressed in Chapter 3. To tackle main issues in new qualification system, analysis associated with existing qualification was done within NCS-based qualification system.

The reorganization principles of the qualification system are the important theories which should always be considered to reorganize it. They can be defined as the principles of equity and efficiency. The reorganization directions of the qualification suggested issues related to the ways which should be sought in reorganization. They are based on connectivity, flexibility, and comparability. The reorganization contents of the qualification system are related to the details which achieve recognition of its value and are properly utilized in industries. The first step of the reorganization contents of the qualification system is industrial analyses and is to find out the career pathway.
