On January 13, 2016, the state decided to cancel 61 items such as automobile marketers, baristas, and registered human resource managers, on the basis of the previous cancellation of four batches of professional qualification licenses and recognition. www.biquge.info In addition to the 211 professional qualifications cancelled in the first four batches since August 2014, the number of professional qualifications cancelled in the five batches will be as high as 272 since August 2014. For many people, this is really a "big and happy" thing.

Now, let's take a look at the "professional qualifications" that have been revoked: brand managers, corporate counsel, franchise licensees...... Involved in communications, international business, foreign trade, quality inspection, transportation, agriculture, culture, machinery manufacturing, light industry, non-ferrous metals and other fields, many positions, even the well-informed Mr. Zhu is unheard of.

Let's talk about baristas. Hearing this name for the first time made Mr. Zhu Jun awe-inspired. A barista should be a skilled coffee grower, right? Or maybe it's a big name in the coffee making process. In short, it made me "unconscious". Later, Mr. Zhu learned that in fact, barista refers to professional coffee-making service personnel who are familiar with coffee culture, production methods and skills. It's just a coffee maker (there's no mentality here that looks down on this profession). The "relevant departments" also set up four levels of this profession, namely: primary (national vocational qualification level 5), intermediate (national vocational qualification level 4), senior (national vocational qualification level 3), technician (national vocational qualification level 2). Gee.

No wonder, at the beginning of June 2015, at the executive meeting, the prime minister pointed to a professional qualification that was about to be revoked and asked Zhong Shan, the international trade negotiator and vice minister of the Ministry of Commerce: "What does an 'international business professional' do?" Zhong Shan, do you have this qualification? Zhong Shan shook his head, and the venue suddenly burst into laughter. The Prime Minister was also happy: "You are our international trade negotiator!" Even you are not qualified, isn't this qualification permission inexplicable? ”

There are some qualifications, such as the National Bar Examination, Certified Public Accountant Certificate, Chartered Financial Analyst, Actuary, Architect, Builder, Licensed Physician, Teacher Certificate, Human Resource Manager, Psychological Counselor, etc., which are required, and there is no harm in taking the exam. For some "inexplicable" qualifications, there is no need. Of course, many departments are not ignorant of "inexplicable", but they still insist on setting up, which is nothing more than driven by interests, in addition to showing their power, it is also a way to generate income. As we all know, the qualification exam now costs a lot of money. Almost all walks of life need qualification certificates, between government departments and industries, between departments, between industries, geese plucking, labor and money, are competing for training and certification, resulting in repeated training, indiscriminate issuance of certificates. Training and certification have become a tool for the powerful to make money, an additional burden for employees and units, and a hotbed for power rent-seeking.

However, it is difficult to implement the cancellation of professional qualification licenses. The key is that monopoly interests are difficult to break for a while. At present, some government functional departments always believe that the cancellation of professional qualification licensing is a weakening of the power of the department; In addition, some departments have inflated their selfish desires, believing that the cancellation of professional qualification licenses has reduced the economic interests of the departments and affected the generation of income. Mr. Zhu has a prescription, which may work: qualification is nothing more than a group of well-fed people, who come up with "tricks" that they come up with behind closed doors.

After five batches of cancellations, the final number of cleanups reached 33% of the total. How many of those "inexplicable" qualifications are there (as of July 2016, the state has cancelled several batches of administrative licenses, Amitabha)?
