Summary/Abstract: The globalization of the labour market imposes mobility, integration, equal opportunities for all the actors implied in this matter. The scientific and technique revolution and the implementation of its results in every day life require not only new occupations/professions, but also new skills and perspectives in practising them. The standardisation of the activities/tasks deployed at the workplace was the answer of the issues. The occupational standards became an instrument of training providers in order to transfer knowledge, skills and attitude needed. Around these standards new concepts have been developed and the core of them is competence. The European Parliament Council involved in this matter highlighting that “the development and recognition of citizens' knowledge, skills and competence are crucial for the development of individuals, competitiveness, employment and social cohesion in the Community” (Official Journal of the European Union, 2008: 1).
