In April of this year, in the WeChat group of a training institution, Ms. Zhang saw a teacher claiming that it was the only training institution recognized by the state, which convinced Ms. Zhang of the authority of their certificate.
A few days later, the other party proposed that "if you don't learn a psychological counselor, a family education instructor will not be able to learn thoroughly." For this reason, Ms. Zhang paid a total of 5,986 yuan in tuition for the family education instructor and the psychological counselor.
Afterwards, Ms. Zhang received the so-called "family education instructor" certificate. After checking, she found that the certificate was not certified by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, nor was it authoritative. "There is no certification information on the official website, and the group chat was disbanded. I can't get in touch with the teacher."
Wang Jiao (pseudonym), a young woman from Tianjin who graduated from technical secondary school, was also attracted by an advertisement for a family education instructor.
She and a salesperson added WeChat.
The other party assured that her educational background does not affect the obtaining of the certificate. "As long as she is a Chinese citizen, over the age of 18, and has no criminal record, she can obtain the certificate."
The other party claimed that the certificate issued was a family education instructor certificate officially certified by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.
However, according to a recent reminder issued by the relevant departments, the so-called "family education instructor" certificate issued by this company cannot be certified by the national vocational qualification, and can only be purchased with money.

"Family Education Instructor" training courses are patched together without standards
"After contacting this course, I felt that as a family education instructor to guide others, just by learning the content of a book, it was a little unrealistic, and I was afraid of mistaking my children. I later asked for refunds many times." Ms. Wang told China A reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Network, she participated in a training course for family education instructors at an educational technology company in Hebei. She felt that the course setting was too simple. The book, which is used as a training material, was patched in content and lacked pertinence and effectiveness. The refund for this application is 2792 yuan.
Before, Ms. Wang got in touch with the staff of the training company through the Internet. The company staff introduced her the application conditions for family education instructors, saying that they could issue a nationally certified certificate, and the employment prospects were good. unequal income.
"I only now know that the relevant state departments have clearly not issued a certificate for family education instructors. I wanted to learn a skill before, and I have the opportunity to engage in this industry in the future, so I blindly spent money to participate in training." Ms. Wang said.
For her refund application, the staff prevaricates for various reasons.
"The staff of the training company said that there will be test questions sent to me before the test, and I only need to pay the test fee of 480 yuan to get the certificate, which makes me feel even more unreliable."

"Family education instructor" certification is in urgent need of industry norms
In fact, at present, the family education instructor certificate is not a vocational (practice) qualification certificate or a vocational skill level certificate. The training certificate issued by the training institution is only a training certificate stamped by its own institution. The training institution claims that "you can work with a certificate".
In an interview with a reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily, Xiong Bingqi, director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, pointed out that in reality, in addition to issuing certificates indiscriminately, there are also institutions that package subject training teachers as home education instructors. Provide children with illegal subject training.

Therefore, professional background should be an essential element for family education practitioners. Relevant practitioners must have professional qualifications and have received psychological Training and supervision related to school, pre-school education, family education, etc., and professional ability and practical experience in parent-child communication, family relations, etc., can be regarded as a qualified family education instructor. "Beijing Jiaotong University Psychology Dr. Lu Xiaohua, deputy director of the Quality Education Center, said.
In Lu Xiaohua's view, the certification of family education instructors can learn from the clinical psychology registration system of the Chinese Psychological Society.
She introduced that at the beginning of the 21st century, when my country's psychology industry was just emerging, there was no clear industry norm, and it was very chaotic. However, because of the incompetence of psychological counseling work, it brings secondary trauma to the counselor.

It is understood that as of November 1, 2021, the clinical psychology registration system has a total of 3,670 registered personnel, including more than 620 registered supervisors, more than 2,200 registered psychologists, and more than 850 registered assistant psychologists. ,
