On September 5th, 20 17, the state cancelled the Level 2 and Level 3 examinations for domestic psychological counselors, because they only studied theoretical knowledge, and there was no entry threshold. The person who receives the certificate only has a certificate and has no ability of psychotherapy.

There is no gold content, so the country canceled grades 2 and 3. Now the unified application is the psychological counseling skill certificate of China Mental Health Association, which takes the national professional standard of psychological counselors as the standard and pays more attention to the cultivation of practical skills and the combination of theory and practice.

In order to ensure the gold content of the certificate, the previous textbooks for grades 2 and 3 were compiled by China Mental Health Association. Now the entry threshold is high, and there are requirements for academic qualifications. Meanwhile, there is no personal registration window. You must go through professional training in an officially designated education school and take the national unified examination after completing enough hours.
