As the NCS(National Competency Standards) classification system continued to be developed and supplemented, NCS became widespread. Qualifications were redesigned to actively reflect industry demands, reduce the burden of redundant acquisition of unnecessary qualifications, and to evaluate objective capacities of the workforce. In addition to the learning modules to be developed in the future, previously developed NCS-based learning modules and lectures should be reorganized based on the new qualification design. In this paper, the Java programming subject designed based on NCS was redesigned according to SW new qualification design. Since the redesigned Java programming subjects consider the qualification design direction or qualification roadmap, not only can they be recognized as a test subject in qualification assessment through course evaluation, but also can be used as individual qualification data.

This study compares and analyzes the tasks and evaluation methods of national technically qualified Skin Esthetic through systematic literature review of prior studies on qualification tests for Skin Esthetic qualification and process evaluation types that have been reorganized based on NCS. The national technical qualification is based on the ability to work through memorization-oriented theoretical tests and simple repetition of functions, and the Qualified qualification is relatively short in the period of test execution, and the reliability of its internal evaluation at the enforcement agency continues to be reduced. In the future, national technical qualification require innovation in the qualification system to reflect skilled demand at industrial sites, and course-based qualification for require supplementation and improvement of education and training courses so that they can learn skilled skills at the site.

National qualification system for SW engineering is intended to be mechanisms to assure the competence of SW professionals. Qualification system for SW engineering can be categorized as national qualification, nationally certified private qualification, and private qualifications. In this paper, we present a summary report of needs analysis for new national qualification systems, based on the survey from human resource department managers of IT companies in IT service, package SW and embedded SW industry. The survey results show that SW qualification system is appropriate for evaluation and career management, but does not provide up-to-date information concerning the technology assessment and change. Based on the result form needs analysis, we suggest the SW specialist and embedded SW specialist as new licenses in national qualification system. In addition, we also propose SW quality management engineer, systems management engineer, IT Protect management engineer, network management engineer and SW architect engineer, as new nationally certified private qualifications.

A design of reliability qualification test based on performance distribution is developed. In general, the performance of an item degrades as the time goes by and the failure of an item occurs when the performance degradation reaches the pre-determined critical level. This article considers the reliability qualification test based on a more tightened critical value at the earlier stage to reduce the evaluation testing time and cost. A numerical example is provided to illustrate how to use the developed reliability qualification test.

Several preceding studies have been conducted to integrate the education programs and qualification examination systems in higher education institutions, such as four-year engineering colleges and vocational universities. However, in practice, the implementation of such integration is a rare occurrence. The most ideal method of integrating education and qualifications can be seen as the unified operation of educational programs and qualification assessments. However, various elements required for accreditation of educational institutions and qualification systems must precede this. In this paper, we first compare and analyze the currently implemented competency-based qualification system and the Accreditation for engineering education evaluation operating as a quality management system for educational programs. Subsequently, through a case study of University K, which concurrently operates the Accreditation for engineering education and competency-based qualification systems, we examine the potential linkage between education and qualifications. After reviewing the case that education and qualifications can be linked, and reflecting the analysis results, if a program that has obtained the Accreditation for engineering education operates a curriculum that satisfies the criteria for Course-based Qualification System. We propose Accreditation-based Qualification System that can grant qualifications, students who have completed it will be provided.

New occupational qualification system built on NCS(National Competency Standard) aimed to induce industries, the final appliers of qualification, to play a leading role in designing qualification and to spontaneously apply such qualification standard to employment and promotion so as to reinforce universality of qualification. In this study, we verified the validity of NCS level of qualification categories for 130 occupational fields by redesigning NCS-based new occupational qualification system with a focus on 7 major areas, including mechanical field, which were found to have wide-ranging social ripple effect throughout society and high acceptability in 2014. The results of study on suitability at qualification level suggested the followings: First, there is a difference in number of competency units for each qualification category, depending on area. New qualification covering 7 major areas included 15.3 competency units for each qualification category, which exceeds the number of competency units(about 10 units) in subdivided NCS. By field, some difference was found with 7.9 competency units for cultural field and 22.6 competency units for information and communication area. Second, preference above normal level was observed in the criteria, procedure and method for determining qualification redesigning. However, preference below normal level was exhibited in connection with possibility of linkage with overseas qualifications, although preference was above normal level in relation to the suitability of design/qualification level and qualification categories based on lifelong career development path within scope of NCS as the criteria for determining the redesign of qualification categories. Second, we compared NCS level and SC(Sector Council level, and the results showed that NCS level was found to be somewhat well-defined. For the qualifications with different definitions, it was deemed difficult to determine superiority between NCS level and SC level. However, majority opinion indicated that it would be desirable to follow NCS level because NCS was created through collection of opinions for a prolonged period.

In general, the performance of a component degrades as time goes by and failure of a component occurs when the performance degradation reaches a pre-specified level. It is difficult to obtain the failure time distribution data or the necessary number of failure data especially for the metal or machine part. Thus, a design of reliability qualification test based on performance distribution is more effective than failure time distribution. In this study, a performance-based reliability qualification test is developed and a numerical example is provided to illustrate the use of the developed reliability qualification test. This approach could be applied to many kinds of metal or machine part whose magnitude of strength could not be evaluated during at any random points but judgement can be made by only failure of the part. Besides, it is also possible that any parts which have a similar failure characteristics could be applicable to the developed reliability qualification test.
