2065438+September 2007, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security published a new national vocational qualification catalogue, and the professional qualification certification of psychological counselors was not included in it, which meant that the professional qualification certification examination for psychological counselors was cancelled.
The influence of canceling the qualification certificate of psychological counselor
Certificates that have passed all previous examinations remain valid, which not only serves as proof and reference for the ability level, but also has irreplaceable value. There is no doubt that having a certificate is better than not having one.
The psychological counseling industry may change from the national examination to the examination organized by industry associations. This means that the psychological counselor certificate has a higher gold content. Changing from a national organization to an industry association organization, even if it is the same level certificate, it must be that the national examination certificate is more valuable.
To do psychological counseling, it is far from enough to have a certificate, and further in-depth study and practice are needed. There are many people who have certificates but don't consult or even consult indiscriminately. It is inevitable to standardize the psychological counseling industry, which is the protection of the psychological counseling industry.
The National Counselor's Certificate was cancelled because the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security Counselor's Qualification Examination is to make the management of the counselor industry more standardized and professional, which is more conducive to promoting the better and faster development of this industry.
The qualification examination for psychological counselors is cancelled, and those who have obtained the certificate are still valid. All regions and departments shall not set up national vocational qualifications outside the catalogue without approval, and it is strictly forbidden to carry out licensing and identification of vocational qualifications outside the catalogue.
Social organizations are not allowed to license and identify qualifications in disguised form, and the words "People's Republic of China (PRC)", "China", "China", "country", "national", "professional qualification" or "personnel qualification" and the national emblem are not allowed to be used in certificates. If the qualification holder does not have the proper professional level, resulting in gross negligence, the unit responsible for licensing shall also bear corresponding responsibilities.
