There are many types of youth counselors, youth leaders, administrators, social workers, nursing care workers, doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, childcare teachers, security guards, etc. These national professional qualifications include those for patent attorneys, tax accountants, social workers, and youth counselors, which are entrusted to the Human Resources Development Service of Korea by the relevant competent authority, and others, such as exams for doctors, nurses, and lawyers, are conducted directly by the competent authority. .
Nationally recognized qualifications are private qualifications recognized by the government in accordance with the Framework Act on Qualifications. Accreditation means that the government recognizes private qualifications whose level of management and operation is the same or similar to national qualifications in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Act.
These nationally recognized qualifications are announced in detail on the Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training website and the Qnet website.
Private qualifications are qualifications managed by the private sector without national recognition.
Any corporation, organization or individual other than the state may establish, manage and operate a private qualification, except for the following fields.
1. Areas related to activities prohibited by other laws and regulations
2. Fields directly related to the life, health, safety and national defense of the people
3. Fields related to acts that harm good morals or are against social order
4. Other fields determined by Presidential Decree after deliberation by the deliberation committee that it is not appropriate to operate in a private capacity.
In this way, a person who wishes to establish, manage and operate a new private qualification may register the relevant private qualification with the Minister of State in charge, as prescribed by Presidential Decree.
Currently, private certifications are registered and managed by the Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training under the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology.
Since private certifications are easily registered except for the above prohibitions, anyone can register and operate them. Therefore, some private certifications are promoted as if they are nationally recognized certifications registered with the Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training, but you should be careful. .
