Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

The results for the Slope Engineering Technician certification exam have been announced.

Reiwa 7 (1st Session)Certified Core Technician for Slope Protection on Registered Roads, etc.

What did you all think?

The issues related to that matter have also been made public.

If you're in the slope construction business, I think you'll have a pretty good idea.

I hear the pass rate is 409 out of 500 candidates (250 in Tokyo and 250 in Fukuoka).

The pass rate is 81.8%

Well, I think it should be fine as long as you're a slope contractor.

Since all that's left is the second half of the essay, you'll be fine as long as you describe your experiences in detail.

What happens if you become a Core Skills Specialist?

What exactly is a Core Skills Technician, anyway?

This refers to a “Skilled Leader at the foreman or team leader level” certified by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, who serves as a core member of the workforce and is responsible for command, supervision, training, and quality control.

You're probably thinking, "Huh?" right?
Basically, I think it was something like, “If you include a core skilled worker in the comprehensive evaluation method for bids, you get bonus points!” lol (I’m not really up to date on the current situation with general contractors.)

If a bid is submitted and awarded based on that, the contract is finalized once that key technician begins working on-site.

From a subcontractor’s perspective, this means we’re now in a position where we’re at least being considered for selection.

It’s extremely important to be chosen by the general contractor!

All seven of our students took the exam, and all seven passed, so all seven of them can go anywhere, right? lol

And apparently, CCUS—which hasn't been used yet—is set to become a Gold-tier technology.

What's the point of that anyway?

What's the point of that?

I really wish they would consolidate all my certifications under CCUS.

The civil engineering industry is all about certifications, but let's just go ahead and get them for now!

See you later.
