　　Recently, candidates preparing to become fire engineers have shown great interest in the prospects for holding a certification as a Level 1 fire engineer; they are also very concerned about the number of people who hold such certifications and the passing rate of the exams. It can be inferred that there is still a considerable demand for fire engineer certificates at present. 　　Prospects for using certified individuals as proxies for Level 1 fire engineers in 2018, along with an analysis of the number of people holding such certificates. 　　1. What is the pass rate for Level 1 fire engineers? What is the qualifying score? The examination for fire engineers began in 2015. According to statistics, around 580,000 people registered for the Level 1 fire engineer exam in 2015, while around 500,000 people registered in 2016; approximately 300,000 to 350,000 of them actually took the exam. The number of candidates who passed the general exam was over 3,400 in 2015 and over 3,400 as well in 2016, with pass rates of 0.92% and 2.59% respectively. 　　The Level 1 Fire Engineer exam consists of three subjects, with a validity period of 3 years. Each subject is scored out of 120 points, and a score of 72 points is required to pass. 　　2. How many people currently hold the certification as a Level 1 fire engineer? In 2015, 3,166 people passed the exam; in 2016, that number was 9,400. The results for 2017 have been released, but the corresponding figures have not yet been made public. It is estimated that between 15,000 and 18,000 people hold this certification. By 2018, the number of people with this certification is expected to be around 30,000. 　　What are the prospects for using a first-level fire engineer certificate on a contractual basis? 3. What will be the fees for using a certified fire engineer certificate in the future? Currently, the fees associated with using such certificates are quite high; in some cases, they reach 180,000 yuan per year or more (the amount varies from city to city). The value of these certificates exceeds that of other certified qualifications, especially for those working in fire safety fields. It is essential to obtain such certificates in order to prove one’s competence. Although the fees are high, it is necessary to have social security linked to the certificate – that is, the holder must submit proof of personal social security that matches that of the company where the certificate is used. 　　4. What is the demand for registered first-level fire engineers? The employment market for registered fire engineers offers significant advantages; there are approximately 15,000 fire technology service companies across the country, yet the number of registered fire engineers is insufficient. Over the next 3–5 years, there will be a need for nearly 500,000 such engineers, indicating a very promising market. 　　5. If I want to take the exam to become a Level 1 fire engineer through affiliation, can I transfer the certificate once I pass the exam? The opportunities for such affiliation will become increasingly rare in the future. But you can really obtain the certificate; one day you will benefit from your persistence and effort.
