　　It is urgent to rectify the "copycat certificate"

　　"Family education instructors", "carbon emission managers", "health managers"... For a period of time, some institutions and units have held training, evaluation, and certification activities at will, causing many people to fall into scams.

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security recently issued a notice to carry out special governance on technical skills training, evaluation and certification activities related to skilled personnel and professional technicians.

How to identify "copycat certificate"?

How to further standardize the assessment and evaluation of vocational skills to make the professional environment more clear and orderly?

The reporter makes an in-depth report here.

　　"Counterfeit certificate" is various

　　Ms. Wang from Zhengzhou, Henan, who was over fifty years old, came across an advertisement for "Family Education Instructor Training" while browsing the web. Clicking on it was the webpage of the "Official Consultation Station for Family Education Instructors", and then a window popped up, prompting You need to fill in the mobile phone number, and you can "send the latest application policy, registration conditions and other materials for free".

Without thinking much, Ms. Wang filled in her mobile phone number.

　　The next day, Ms. Wang received a call from a training institution, and the other party said on the phone that "home education will be a golden industry for at least the next 30 years", "there are at least 2.5 million job gaps for home education instructors", and "just need to take the test." A 'family education instructor certificate' is employed, with a full-time annual income of 100,000-500,000 yuan, and a part-time salary of 100-500 yuan/hour."

　　After listening to this, Ms. Wang was a little excited about taking the family education instructor certificate, but she started to murmur: I only have a junior high school degree, so I am not qualified to apply, and my memory is not as good as it was in the past. Even if you get a certificate, where will you go to find a job?

The other party heard Ms. Wang's doubts and quickly explained that there is no age limit or educational background for applying for the certificate. After the certificate is obtained, the training institution will help contact relevant companies to provide jobs.

You only need to listen to 54 hours of online lessons to take the exam.

The content of the exam is two written exams taken online, and a "dense paper" will be provided before the exam to ensure a one-time pass.

"Only need to pay the registration fee of 2,000 yuan, you can hold a 'golden rice bowl'." The other party said on the phone.

　　Seeing that Ms. Wang was still hesitating, the other party sent a sample of the "Family Education Instructor" certificate, with the seal of the Vocational Talent Evaluation Center at the sign-off, and claimed: "The issuing unit is an authoritative government agency and guarantees the gold content."

　　However, the so-called "issued by an authoritative body" is just selling dog meat.

When the reporter consulted with the Professional Talent Evaluation Center, we learned that "Family Education Instructor" is only a certificate of completion of a training program, not a vocational qualification certificate or a professional qualification certificate. After obtaining the certificate, it does not mean that you are eligible to participate in any work.

In the "National Vocational Qualification Catalog (2021 Edition)" issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, we could not find the occupation of "family education instructor".

In other words, the "family education instructor certificate" obtained by spending money and energy is a complete "copycat certificate".

　　There are also training institutions that issue a "certificate of completion" in addition to tutoring the professional qualification certificate exam, claiming that it has the same effect as the professional qualification certificate, so as to confuse the public.

　　The reporter contacted a training institution to ask about the firefighting facility operator certificate exam.

A salesperson said on the phone: You only need to take 7 days of online courses in the training institution, and the training institution will issue a certificate of completion. With the certificate of completion, you can apply for the position of firefighting facility operator, which requires a qualification certificate.

Training institutions will also help to contact relevant positions and companies, and they can earn 50,000-100,000 yuan a year just by being affiliated.

However, the reporter learned from the Beijing Fire Rescue Corps' Fire Industry Vocational Skills Appraisal Station that the so-called "course completion certificate" cannot replace the qualification certificate, and it is difficult for job seekers to apply for relevant positions with only the "course completion certificate".

　　Fire industry insiders revealed to reporters that the firefighting facility operator certificate exam is difficult and the pass rate is low. Taking Hebei Province as an example, the annual pass rate is only 20%-30%.

It is not difficult to see that "the certificate of completion of the course has the same effect" is just a means of deliberately confusing the concept by training institutions, the purpose is to mislead consumers to sign up for training, and there are exaggerated and false propaganda.

　　It is urgent to rectify the chaos

　　The "copycat certificate" is just a thin piece of paper, and the harm to job seekers is far more than time and money.

A survey report by the People's Court of Shunyi District, Beijing showed that among the 128 cases involving textual research and training disputes heard by Beijing courts in the past year, the proportion of cases in which the plaintiff was a recent college student was as high as 72%. Some institutions induce students to sign consumer loan contracts with their affiliated companies to obtain additional income.

　　Xue Eryong, deputy dean of the China Education Policy Research Institute of Beijing Normal University, believes that practitioners who use the "copycat certificate" will not meet the basic requirements of the industry in which they work, which will cause harm to the people they serve.

If the "copycat certificate" is allowed to spread, it will also impact the guidance standards of related industries, have a certain impact on related policies, and hinder the development of related industries.

　　"From a far-reaching perspective, the existence of 'copycat certificates' will affect social justice." Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences, told reporters, "Some people use these certificates to achieve their goals, which will affect the benign order of society."

　　It is urgent to rectify the chaos of "copycat certificate".

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Central Internet Information Office have successively issued the "Notice of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security on the Special Governance of Technical Skills "Copyright Certificates", and the Secretariat of the Central Internet Information Office of the General Office of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security on the development of technical skills. "Notice on the Internet Governance of Shanzhai Certificates", to govern the technical skills of "shanzhai certificates".

　　The reporter found that the sales staff of different "copycat certificates" training institutions have roughly the same skills: taking a certificate requires low effort and high return.

In this regard, the "Notice of Network Governance Work" requires that the use of "government main push", "XXX department", "original XXX department", "substitute examination", "passed", "but refunded", "quick", "must be employed", "X days" Key review, monitoring and disposal will be carried out if the words such as "Certificate", "Certificate with Zero Basic Package", "Affiliate", "Certificate", "Easy Monthly Income Over 10,000", "High-paying Entry", "High-paying Job after Graduation", "Internal Recommendation", etc., shall be reviewed.

　　In order to gain the trust of students, some training institutions claim that the certificate is certified by an authority.

In this regard, the "Notice of Network Governance Work" will focus on reviewing the following phenomena: illegal use of the words "People's Republic of China", "China", "China", "country", "national" and other words; illegal use of "professional qualifications", "practice qualifications" " Personnel qualification", "post qualification (certificate)", "professional technical position", "vocational skill appraisal", "vocational skill level" and other words; illegal use of the national emblem of the People's Republic of China.

For those that are illegal or non-compliant, relevant websites and new media accounts will be shut down in accordance with laws and regulations, and associated webpages will be cleared.

　　Strengthen normalized management

　　Why is the "copycat certificate" repeatedly banned?

Chu Zhaohui said that some institutions took advantage of the "research anxiety" of job seekers to make room for the proliferation of "copycat certificates".

Wang Ting, director of the Human Resource Development and Management Research Center of the Business School of China University of Political Science and Law, believes that in the fields of new occupations and new types of work, the development of relevant professional competency standards in China is relatively lagging behind, and there is a lack of officially recognized filing institutions to meet the needs of workers for "self-improvement". Let some institutions have "opportunities".

　　The "Notice of Special Governance Work" requires that all regions, departments and units conduct a comprehensive inspection of the technical skills training, evaluation and certification activities for the society.

For illegal use of relevant words and logos, false or exaggerated publicity, illegal training fees, intentionally confusing concepts to mislead the society for hype, suspected deception and fraud and other violations and violations, conduct special governance, and resolutely correct and investigate.

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security will work with relevant departments to investigate and verify typical problems in media reports and mass complaints and reports, establish a "blacklist" system, and include training institutions and evaluation institutions that violate discipline and regulations into the "blacklist", and evaluate technical skills training. The issuance of certificates shall be managed on a regular basis.

　　According to industry insiders, the special governance of "copycat certificates" will effectively crack down on relevant violations of laws and regulations, and will also provide a clear sky for technical skills training, evaluation and certification activities.

　　"In addition to keeping key links such as academic certificates, employers can appropriately reduce the use of certificates, which can also partially solve the problem of 'copycat certificates'." Chu Zhaohui said.

From 2013 to 2017, the State Council reviewed and approved a total of 434 items of the State Council's departmental vocational qualification licenses and accreditation items that were cancelled in 7 batches, including 154 vocational qualifications for professional and technical personnel and 280 vocational qualifications for skilled personnel.

In the "National Vocational Qualification Catalog (2021 Edition)", there are only 13 professional qualifications for skilled personnel, and all other vocational qualifications for skilled personnel are withdrawn, and will no longer be recognized and issued by the government or its authorized units.

　　"Enterprises should play the role of the industry. In the absence of policies and relevant standards, relevant industries must adhere to industry self-discipline." Xue Eryong said, "We must respond to the diverse needs of society in a timely manner, in addition to basic guidance. , should also provide granular guidance. This requires us to accelerate the speed of policy formulation, adjustment and optimization.”

　　When the reporter searched for keywords such as "family education instructor" and "carbon emission manager" in the search engine, the first thing that appeared was the website of the training institution. The website profile contained words such as "national" and "official", which was extremely misleading. .

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said, "We will resolutely shut down a number of illegal accounts and platforms, clear a number of illegal and illegal webpages and information, and create a public opinion atmosphere of integrity and impartiality for training and verification for the general public."
