Abstract
Korean Association of Consumer Professional(KCOP) proposed to introduce Consumption Trend Expert(CTE) certification for the needs of a rapid changing society in 2010. After that Consumption Trend Expert certification was issued in March 2012. Since KCOP has started to issue CTE certification to Students of the national department of consumer science related from March 2012, a total of 95 students got certified. However, despite of high social interest and majors in consumer science, current CTE certification has several drawbacks. First, it is hard to open sufficient subjects in national departments of consumer science related for various difficulties. Second, KCOP does not provide a standard syllabus for courses completed. Third, it is ruled enterprise out on reflecting social and business needs for Consumption Trend Experts. On the basis of recognition of these problems, we analyzed current state of CTE certification and gave an in-depth interview to many specialists who work in both sides of academic and business area related consumer science fields. Finally we suggest an improvement plan of CTE certification quantitatively as well as qualitatively. Also, we developed a standard syllabus for which is the most essential course for consumption trend expert certification.
