Description
Summary:This paper examines the underpinnings of professional qualifications in France. The evolution in that field results from two elements: the choice by the Ministry of Education and its partners of a constructivist perspective and its ambivalence about vocational training and certification.

The current superimposition of definitions and principles emphasizes the discontinuity of institutional policies and their very contradictions.
