Summary/Abstract: This study was devised as a conceptual reflection on professional competences from the perspective of modern demands. The premises which lead to this concept were elucidated and repositioned against the background of “professional competence”. This study aims at changing the traditional paradigm of professional competence perception. Thus we begin by presenting a complex analysis of the specialist’s activity which leads to the idea that any specialist represents the outcome of holistic functionality. We thus come to the conclusion that the holistic paradigm presents a referential frame adequate for the conceptualization of professional competence. In addition, we also focused on and described a series of characteristics and facilitating conditions of the professional Self. All these were approached from the perspective of national and European education policy framework.
