Therefore, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the following information: Information related to the professional title exams: I. Eligibility and candidates Those who wish to be promoted or appointed to professional technical positions, and whose position requires a certain level of foreign language proficiency as stipulated in the regulations regarding professional technical positions, as well as those who have previously taken the **uniform intermediate professional technical qualification exams (for accountants, economists, statisticians, auditors), passed those exams, and already hold professional technical qualifications, must take the English test for professional titles. However, for graduates from colleges and vocational schools who entered school before the resumption of the national college entrance examination in 1977, and for professional and technical personnel currently working in fields such as library and information services, culture and museums, archives, mass culture, arts and crafts, traditional Chinese medicine, and herbal medicine, as well as those teaching general theory courses or courses related to classical Chinese in colleges, vocational schools, and technical schools, they may choose Archaeological Chinese (Classical Chinese in Medicine) or a foreign language. Graduates from colleges and vocational schools who entered school after the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1977 must take the foreign language proficiency test for professional titles. II. Grade Classification and Eligible Candidates The exam is divided into three grades, A, B, and C, based on the series and level of professional titles; professionals may choose one of the designated languages to take the exam according to their respective level. Among them, English is further divided into three categories according to different majors: General English, English for Science and Engineering, and English for Health. The exam primarily tests the ability of professional and technical personnel to read and understand foreign-language professional foundational literature. Candidates can choose a language and relevant category to take the exam based on the evaluation requirements and their professional field of work. Upon passing the exam, the Municipal Vocational Reform Office issues a \"Certificate of Passing the Professional Title Foreign Language Proficiency Test\", printed in accordance with the standards set by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, which is valid nationwide. The validity period for a passing score in Level A exams is 4 years, while that for passing scores in Level B and C exams is 3 years. The appropriate candidates for each level are as follows (senior and intermediate technical positions refer to senior professional and technical positions respectively): (I) Level A 1. Those in the fields of higher education, research, healthcare, engineering, and agriculture who apply for senior positions ； 2. Apply for the Senior International Business Specialist title ； 3. Applications for the senior level are being submitted for other series. (II) Level B: 1. Staff from county-level (including county) and lower-level units in the fields of engineering, agriculture, and public health may apply for senior positions ； 2. Applications for the intermediate level in the fields of higher education, scientific research, health, engineering, and agriculture ； 3. Apply for the advanced level in the second foreign language translation series ； 4. Advanced series without designated primary/secondary grades (excluding engineering series) – for advanced level review ； Other series apply for the associate senior title. (III) Level C: 1. Except for the translation track, applicants for an advanced second foreign language ； 2. Translate series to apply for the intermediate level in a second foreign language ； 3. Staff in engineering, agriculture, and health sectors working in units at or below the county level may apply for the intermediate level ； 4. Applications for the intermediate level in other series. III. Conditions for exemption from examination 1. Those who have published more than 10,000 words of translated articles since taking up their current position and have been promoted to an intermediate rank, or those who have published more than 30,000 words of translated articles and have been promoted to a senior rank. 　 　　2. Those who, since taking up their current position, have been approved by the organization to study or pursue further training abroad for more than one year, or who have completed the intensive foreign language training programs designated for overseas travelers within the past two years and passed the examinations. 　 　　3. Those who have obtained a master’s degree or passed the foreign language exam required for completion of postgraduate studies and have been promoted to an intermediate position, or those who have obtained a doctor’s degree and have been promoted to a senior position. As for the professional English test, it’s generally not difficult at all; it’s even easier than the College English Test Band 4 :)

4# tekchina Thank you, Chaoban! When I was at Sinopec, I didn’t pay attention to it since the deadline hadn’t arrived; now that I’m in a private company, even less attention is paid to it.

I would like to ask fellow sea professionals: will the certificates issued for the National Professional Title English Test be available in time for the evaluation of senior professional titles in that same year? Please those who have experienced this answer. Urgent!

How can one pass the English test for professional titles?

The evaluation times for advanced professional titles vary depending on the region and the category of position. The results for the professional title English test are usually available in July, while the certificates are issued in August or September. It depends on the deadline for submitting the materials. Looking forward to answers from friends who have had such experiences.

I graduated in Chemical Engineering and Technology, and I am currently working in chemical process design. I need to obtain an intermediate professional title (engineer) in 2012 – which English test is required for that? B? ? Thank you

(II) Level B: 1. Staff from county-level (including county) and lower-level units in the fields of engineering, agriculture, and public health may apply for senior positions； 2. Applications for the intermediate level in the fields of higher education, scientific research, health, engineering, and agriculture ； 3. Apply for the advanced level in the second foreign language translation series ； 4. Advanced series without designated primary/secondary grades (excluding engineering series) – for advanced level review ； Other series apply for the associate senior title. It should be B.

Absolutely, don’t worry! I tried it this year! 6# duanmingz
