Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

I went there the other day!!

Reiwa 7 Fiscal Year Training Course for Certified Slope Protection Technicians for Registered Roads, etc.

 

What Is a Core Skilled Worker?

Core skilled workers possess not only highly proficient work skills and extensive knowledge, but also the ability to lead the workforce on-site,

These are skilled workers with excellent management skills for carrying out work efficiently, who have been certified by a specialized trade association.

On-site, you will be expected to participate in and assist with the prime contractor’s planning and management tasks in a role such as a senior foreman.

Qualification Requirements for Registered Core Technicians

To enroll in the Registered Core Technician Training Course, you must meet the following requirements.

・At least 10 years of practical experience in the occupational category of the relevant core skilled worker
・At least 3 years of experience as a foreman as part of your professional experience
・Possession of qualifications specified by the implementing organization (e.g., Level 1 Skilled Worker, Construction Management Engineer, etc.)

 

It's a certification where years of experience matter more than you'd think, so it's not something you can just breeze through.

Other than that, it seems you’ll be fine as long as you have civil engineering certifications (Grades 1 and 2) plus slope engineering certifications (Nozleman and Slope Construction Technician).

The certification program as a whole feels like a review of the absolute basics, such as the fundamental concepts of slope engineering and the laws and regulations governing the construction industry.

Conversely, since the focus is on the slope itself, retaining structures (such as ground anchors and rebar insertion) are rarely used.

Is that because the associations are different??

...or so I thought, lol

I hear that if you become a Certified Core Technician for Slope Protection on Registered Roads, etc., you can at least become a chief engineer.

That said, if you have a Level 1 or Level 2 Civil Engineering license...

On the other hand, almost everyone at the venue is an administrator.

Since that has to do with scoring in the bidding process and such, I suppose it makes sense that many people are focusing on that aspect, doesn't it?

And once you earn this Core Skilled Worker certification, you’ll instantly become a Level 4 Gold Skilled Worker!!!

So, what does that mean? I get the feeling that the value of the Slope Construction Management Engineer certification is going to diminish quite a bit...

Apparently, if you hold a slope construction management engineer certification, you’re considered a Level 3 Silver-level skilled worker.

What are we supposed to do about this? lol

 

I thought to myself, "Oh, this is a breeze," and successfully completed the course.

I can't really say anything about the test, lol.

The essay was about 400 characters long, but the project name and scope of work were a bit vague, so I just winged it... lol

 

I hear the results will be out in October, so I'm looking forward to them until then.

This will be held every year going forward, so I hope you’ll all take part.

That's because, in a sense, obtaining a certification is one way to improve your skills.

Our expertise is our strength.

And for an administrator, that certification is kind of like a basic tool, isn't it?

You can never have too many, so please be sure to get one.

If I don't get in this year, I'll go again next year, too ^^

 

See you later.
