2065438+2008, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security suspended the examination for psychological counselors. It is clearly stated in the official document that "according to the reform requirements of streamlining institutions, decentralizing power, strengthening supervision and improving services, the State Council will no longer organize examinations for psychological counselors ... Colleagues also pointed out in the document that trade associations can organize their own examinations and submit them for approval". The document does not deny that trade associations organize examinations.
As the only exam left in the psychological counseling industry, the status of the Chinese Academy of Sciences psychological counselor exam in the whole industry is beyond doubt, and it is still the highest in gold content. Even if the examination unit changes, it is only the change and improvement of the industry application procedure, and it does not affect the gold content, validity and scope of application of the certificate.
The correlation is as follows
In order to standardize and develop the vocational qualification certification system and connect with international vocational education standards, whether the vocational qualification examination is delegated to the industry or to associations and localities, it is actually a change from theoretical examination to more practical assessment. The future exam will be closer to the actual work and job requirements, and the assessment method will be more flexible, taking the actual needs of the employer as the standard.
Finally, no matter how the country organizes the examination, the obtained psychological counselor certificate is used in the psychological counseling industry. It is unrealistic and difficult for any employer to treat the certificate obtained by which exam differently. Undoubtedly, as the only certificate in the psychological counseling industry, the psychological counselor certificate is still the industry standard to measure the professional quality and ability of psychological counseling practitioners.
