In this paper, I focused on quality assurance system of Japanese professional education and analyzed higher education policy. I specifically discussed the two professions, those are, medical doctors and legal professions. I examined the political background and process of introducing quality assurance system and how to implement it. Moreover, I analyzed the records of the governmental councils on scheme of quality assurance and extracted the logic and strategy to "quality" assurance from them. I found out that 1) the national examinations and international standards of the professions make the quality assurance tools at education systems functioned effectively, and 2) the definition of quality was varied by stake holders who defined it.
