Is it true that nursing staff for the aged don't need certificates?

Elderly nursing staff do not need a certificate.

Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security: 90 occupations such as aged care workers do not need to be certified.

Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security decided to abolish the provisions of the former Ministry of Labor and Social Security on recruiting skilled workers (Decree No.6 of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security).

In 2000, the former Ministry of Labor and Social Security promulgated the Regulations on Recruiting Skilled Workers (Order No.6 of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, hereinafter referred to as Order No.6), which stipulated 90 occupations with professional qualification certificates, such as nurses. Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security abolished this document, which means that nurses no longer need to hold certificates.

According to the requirements of "Institutional Reform and Functional Transformation Plan of the State Council" and the spirit of promoting the combination of decentralization and administration and optimizing service series in the State Council, in order to further standardize the management of vocational qualification setting, promote the reform of vocational qualification system, lower the market threshold, stimulate market vitality, potential and creativity, and promote mass entrepreneurship and innovation, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security decided to abolish the provisions of the former Ministry of Labor and Social Security on recruiting skilled workers (Order No.6 of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security).

In 2000, the former Ministry of Labor and Social Security promulgated the Regulations on Recruiting Skilled Workers (Order No.6 of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, hereinafter referred to as Order No.6), which stipulated 90 occupations with professional qualification certificates. Its promulgation has played a positive role in promoting vocational education and training, improving the quality of workers, promoting stable and decent employment of workers, enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises and industries, and promoting economic and social development. However, with the deepening of the reform of the administrative system and the promotion of the transformation of government functions, this provision no longer meets the requirements of the State Council on establishing administrative examination and approval items and cleaning up professional qualifications. The abolition of Decree No.6 is an important measure for Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security to implement the State Council to promote the transformation of government functions and further reduce the qualification recognition. It is of great significance to reduce the cost of employment and entrepreneurship, mobilize the enthusiasm of all kinds of talents for employment and entrepreneurship, and stimulate market players and social vitality.

China has established and implemented the vocational qualification system since 1994. From the nature of qualifications, vocational qualifications include two types: access vocational qualifications and level evaluation vocational qualifications. Special occupations involving public safety, personal health and the safety of people's lives and property, according to the relevant laws, administrative regulations or the decision of the State Council, set up access vocational qualifications; The professional qualification of level evaluation is set according to the needs of economic and social development, and it has strong universality, professionalism and high skill requirements. For access to professional qualifications, workers must hold relevant certificates; For the rating of vocational qualifications, workers can voluntarily participate in the assessment and appraisal as needed. The abolition of Order No.6 this time means that social organizations and employers are not allowed to implement employment access for occupations without legal basis, and they are not allowed to require workers to hold certificates.

Reducing the licensing and certification of professional qualifications is an important part of the State Council's efforts to promote decentralization, combine management with release, and optimize services. It is also an important measure to lower the market entry threshold, stimulate market vitality and promote mass entrepreneurship and innovation. Since last year, the State Council has cancelled the 2 1 1 vocational qualifications set by relevant departments in the State Council in four batches, and Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has also cancelled various vocational qualifications set by local authorities. The person in charge of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said that on the one hand, it will continue to be problem-oriented, make full use of the "ordering mechanism" of the masses, and resolutely cancel the professional qualifications that are strongly reflected by the society and hinder entrepreneurial innovation; On the other hand, we should pay close attention to the study of the national vocational qualification framework system, speed up the establishment of the national vocational qualification catalogue management system, and release the national vocational qualification catalogue list to the society in batches. Occupations involving public safety, personal health and safety of life and property, which really need to be set as access, will be included in the unified planning and management of national vocational qualifications in accordance with legal procedures.
