Is the psychological counselor qualification certificate useful?

Regarding whether the certificate of psychological counselor is useful, my opinion is that no matter what period of research, the certificate is only a stepping stone, which is a necessary but not sufficient condition. The role of the certificate is only to enable you to obtain the qualification, reduce the risk of illegal business operation and avoid legal disputes in the future. As for whether the psychological counseling industry can stay for a long time, it ultimately depends on your personal ability. Everyone with strong personal ability can survive, and those with poor ability will be eliminated by the market for a long time, and the law will remain unchanged.

The professional qualifications outside the catalogue are not allowed and recognized, and the psychological counselor certificate is excluded from the national vocational qualification catalogue. Simply put, government departments no longer issue qualification certificates related to psychological counseling. Before the policy adjustment, there was no authoritative department in the country to organize vocational qualification examinations.

To put it simply, there is no unified evaluation standard in the psychological counselor industry, so there is a saying on the Internet that the psychological counselor certificate of a third-party institution is not a qualification certificate, and the state does not recognize it. It is best to teach yourself or study psychology, otherwise you will pay IQ tax and be cheated. I personally disagree with this statement:

Not everyone takes this certificate, but studying psychology means being a psychological consultant, so you don't have to understand the learning value of a certificate and a course so mechanically and dogmatically. Education, medical care, health ... People in any industry can learn some psychology, which is beneficial to individuals, life and work.

Similarly, not everyone has the conditions to give up their current jobs and re-take a psychology major or a postgraduate doctorate. My classmate said that after graduating from college, I have to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Now I have been working for four or five years, and I haven't acted yet! Therefore, those who come from regular classes don't have to study psychology and behavior all the time.
