Many people are able to earn as many certifications as they can due to career demands and the need to develop their skills. However, not all certificates are recognized by the state and worth taking, some certificates have long been canceled, and there are some "copycat" certificates, which need to be screened.
Recently, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and other three departments jointly issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Vocational Skills Evaluation Standards" (Human Resources and Social Security Office Fa [2024] No. 27). Explicit:
1. The evaluation of vocational qualifications shall be carried out in accordance with the current National Vocational Qualification Catalogue published by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.
2. Strengthen the supervision and management of vocational skills evaluation, and normalize the supervision of evaluation institutions and their evaluation activities.
3. Strengthen the construction of information platforms.
These certificates have long since been cancelled
As early as 2019, the executive meeting of the State Council decided to cancel the vocational qualifications of skilled personnel in the level evaluation category step by step and implement the recognition of socialized vocational skill levels.
76 professional qualifications for skilled personnel in the level evaluation category have been withdrawn from the national vocational qualification catalog, and the level evaluation of skilled personnel has been changed from the government's recognition to the implementation of socialized grade recognition.
Look for the National Vocational Qualifications Catalogue
No matter what kind of certificate you are going to take, please look for the "National Vocational Qualification Catalogue" issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. According to the National Vocational Qualification Catalogue, there are 33 professional and technical personnel qualifications and 13 professional qualifications for skilled personnel.
Beware of "copycat certificates"
The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has been carrying out a special governance action on "copycat certificates", and the examination center and relevant departments continue to increase the crackdown on "copycat certificates", and insist on investigating and digging thoroughly on clues such as fake websites found.
Everyone should also pay attention to screening, avoid wasting energy on "copycat certificates", and prevent being deceived.
