What is a national certification?
National qualifications refer to qualifications newly established and managed by the state in accordance with laws and regulations. These certificates are issued by officially recognized public institutions (Ministry of Health and Welfare, National Tax Service), and in addition to national certificates, there are private certificates.
Private qualifications are certificates issued by private businesses, not public institutions, and are different from national qualifications. However, having a certificate is still a big advantage when looking for a job. Additionally, obtaining certification is a great help in self-development.
Therefore, if you want to prepare for a national certification, it is a good idea to collect enough information about the certification you wish to obtain and begin preparing for the national certification exam. Also, recently, there are increasing opportunities to prepare for national certification exams through the Naeil Learning Card government subsidy, so please take note of this as well.
National qualification type
National qualifications are divided into national technical qualifications and national professional qualifications.
National technical certification is a certification created in accordance with the National Qualification and Technology Act, and refers to certification in the fields of technology, skills, and services related to industry. Most of them are entrusted and operated by the Human Resources Development Service of Korea, and are classified according to competency into master craftsman, engineer, engineer, industrial engineer, and technician (grade 1, 2, and 3 in the service field).
On the other hand, national professional qualifications are certificates created in accordance with various laws other than the National Qualifications and Technology Act, and range from laws such as the Road Traffic Act to laws you may have never heard of. Because it is a certification that covers specialized areas such as medicine, taxation, and accounting, it is classified differently from a national technical certification.
There are 544 national technical qualifications and 185 national professional qualifications.
