Re: Reiwa 7 (1st Session) Training Course for Core Technicians in Slope Protection for Registered Roads, etc.

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Do you have this certification?

"Certified Core Technician for Slope Protection on Registered Roads, etc."

National Association for the Protection of Specified Slopes (General Incorporated Association) from

Slope Stabilization Work

This is a brand-new certification!

 

First of all, what exactly is a core skilled worker?

A skilled worker who possesses particularly advanced skills and extensive experience at construction sites and is capable of supervising and managing the siteThis refers to a position that ranks above general skilled workers and serves as a key resource who also fulfills a team leader role.

Key Characteristics of Core Skilled Workers

Certification System Equivalent to Level 4 (Gold Card) under the "Construction Career Up System (CCUS)"
Main Job Responsibilities On-site work supervision, safety and quality control, training of junior staff, production scheduling, etc.
Eligible Job Categories A wide range of trades, including ironworkers, rebar workers, formwork workers, carpenters, plasterers, plumbers, electricians, and earthwork workers, among others

The advantage of having this is that it qualifies for bonus points when the general contractor submits a bid.

Registering a core skilled worker at the time of bidding will earn you bonus points, which will help you stand out from the competition.

 

By the way, there are many core skilled workers in every industry.

💡 Points to Note

  • For each job categoryCore Skills Training CourseA training program is available, and upon completion, participants can be registered as “Core Technicians.”

  • Practical experience, a Level 1 Skilled Worker certification, or completion of foreman training are often prerequisites for enrollment.

  • Under the Construction Career Up System (CCUS), core skilled workers are classified as Level 4 (Gold) equivalent.

Since key technicians working on slopes are probably classified as scaffolding and earthwork workers, I went ahead and put them in that category (on my own). lol

It's just getting started, so hurry up and sign up!

 

I think this will be a mandatory qualification for slope engineers in the future.

That’s one reason why we’re chosen. After all, there’s nothing we can do unless the general contractor wins the bid.

To that end, I believe we subcontractors should also do our very best.

 

If this is the first time you've heard about it, be sure to check it out and sign up right away.

 

See you later.

    After all that hard work to get my slope construction management certification...
    I wonder what that was?

  2. 法面坊や says:

    When I applied for the Core Skilled Worker certification, I was told that the requirement for “at least 3 years of experience as a foreman” in the section stating “must have at least 10 years of practical experience and at least 3 years of experience as a foreman” meant I had to have had that experience for at least 3 years after completing the “Foreman and Occupational Safety and Health Officer Training” course—so I wasn’t able to take the course (sob).
