Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is meeting wide acceptance and implementation, becoming a rapidly growing economic sector and creating new jobs. Nevertheless, proper education for qualifying employees in the AAL area is still massively lagging behind. CompAAL is an EU funded project aiming to develop a set of qualification profiles for players in the field of AAL. This paper presents the preliminary results of user analysis regarding AAL qualifications and training needs, as well as the research methodology used for collecting and processing related data.
