  • Market of qualifications: Its growth feeds on itself, in the sense that the greater the variety of qualifications on offer, the faster grows the demand for them.
  • Internal Driving Force: The system encourages students to gather additional qualifications by defining course content and its aims narrowly. It is known as specialization. Then comes, the phrase ‘job ready’, leading to a chase for one certificate after another.
