2. Skills certificate
(1), National Information Engineer-GIS Application Level Examination. National Information Engineer Project (NCIE) is a national IT professional government certification system organized and implemented under the leadership of the Ministry of Information Industry. The National Information Engineer -GIS Application Level Examination is a national professional and technical level examination of GIS jointly promoted by the Electronic Talent Exchange Center of the Ministry of Information Industry and the Geographic System Software and Its Application Engineering Research Center of the Ministry of Education, and has been incorporated into the National Information Engineer Engineering (NCIE) examination system, referred to as "National GIS Application Level Examination".
Set the examination system from low to high to three levels. The first, second and third levels are equivalent to GIS assistant engineer, GIS engineer and GIS senior engineer respectively. The first-level examination focuses on the examination of professional basic knowledge and has no direction; The second and third level examinations will be divided into two directions: GIS software development and GIS industry application. The examination takes the form of a unified national examination. Students or fresh graduates can only take the first-level exam. Three years of work experience can get level 2, and five years of work experience can get level 3.
Comments: Students or fresh graduates can take the first grade examination, which is relatively easy and can increase their employment chips.
(2), ESRI technical certification exam. 201111October, Esri officially announced the "Esri Technology Certification Plan", which is considered to be the first technology certification system in the global GIS industry. The first batch of certification examinations were conducted in more than 5,000 test sites in 65 countries around the world. The purpose of "Esri Technology Certification Program" is to enable professionals to quickly master the advantages of Esri series products, so as to stand out in their work. The first batch of certification examinations include five certifications, including desktop, network and enterprise products. Each certification exam lasts for 2 hours, and it is an online English exam, including 90 to 95 multiple-choice questions. For the certification project, Esri will gradually expand into a complete set of 13 exams. Esri technical certification exam costs $225 and can be retaken at least 3 times.
Comments: Registration is not limited, and students can apply. It is a global certification, and it is very helpful to go to a foreign company. But the exam is only in English, and the exam cost is high.
(3), MapGIS technology certification. MapGIS technical certification is a professional technical certification in the field of GIS in China, which reflects the ability of MapGIS users to master the application of MapGIS related software technology. Its training and certification are biased towards the application and development of MapGIS software.
Comments: Students can apply for the exam, and the application of MapGIS in practical projects is more practical.
(4), computer technology and software professional technical qualification (level) exam. This examination is an improvement and development of the original China computer software professional and technical qualification and grade examination (referred to as "software examination", commonly known as "soft examination"). This is a national examination led by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Its purpose is to scientifically and fairly test the professional qualifications, professional technical qualifications and professional technical level of computer and software professionals in China.
The personnel who have obtained the certificate through examination show that they have the level and ability to engage in the corresponding professional posts. The employer may select the corresponding professional and technical posts (technicians, assistant engineers, engineers and senior engineers) from the personnel who have obtained the certificate according to the needs of the work. Computer professional and technical qualification (level) After the implementation of the national unified examination, the professional and technical post qualification evaluation of the corresponding major and level of computer technology and software will no longer be carried out. Therefore, this kind of examination is both a professional qualification examination and a professional title qualification examination.
The professional categories of soft test are computer software, computer network, computer application technology, information system and information management. Most developers in the industry take computer software exams, which are divided into primary qualifications, intermediate qualifications and advanced qualifications. Among them, the primary qualification corresponds to the programmer; Intermediate qualifications are software appraiser, software designer and software process capability appraiser; Senior qualifications are not classified according to professional categories, namely, information system project management division, system analyst, system architect, network planner, system planner and administrator.
Comments: This kind of examination also has the nature of grade examination. You don't need education or qualifications to apply for any level. As long as you reach the corresponding technical level, you can apply for the corresponding level, which means that students can also take advanced qualifications. High examination recognition is beneficial to children's shoes that take the development route.
(5) Registered Surveyor. In 2007, China began to establish a registered surveyor system. According to the Surveying and Mapping Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the former Ministry of Personnel and the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping jointly promulgated the relevant provisions of the registered surveyors system and supporting implementation measures. At present, three national registered surveyors examinations have been conducted, and nearly 7,000 people have obtained the qualification of registered surveyors.
In 20 14, the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping Geographic Information issued the Measures for the Administration of Practice in registered surveyors (for Trial Implementation), which will start to implement the registered surveyors-qualification linkage on 20 15 1 day, marking that China's registered surveyors system has entered a substantive operation stage. 3S people finally have their own professional certificates, which will greatly enhance their professional pride and dignity, and at the same time raise the wages of 3S people with registered surveyors certificates.
Comments: The application requirements are high, and students are not allowed to apply. It takes four years to apply for the exam after graduation. The pass rate of 20 13 is about 3%, which is low, but the certificate has high gold content. For the introduction of registered surveyors, please refer to the blog post "3S Professional Certificate-Registered Surveyor".
