Is the certificate for registered chemical engineers valid for a certain period? If I pass the exam, do I still need to renew the certificate every year? Is there still such a thing as exemption from basic courses nowadays? Thank you
If taking the exam this year, those who were promoted to senior engineer before 2002 are said to be exempt from the basic courses
The same question: if it is on a sponsorship basis, will the certificate remain valid after 3 years? Do I need to renew the certificate?

There’s no need to replace the certificate; just participate in continuing education
What does continuing education mean? Could you be more specific?
The certificate obtained by passing a professional exam is a qualification certificate that is, in principle, valid for life； The registration certificate is valid for a period of 3 years; those who wish to continue their registration must submit proof of continuing education as well as the necessary documents for renewal
There is no expiration date for the foundation qualification; after passing the professional exam, one can obtain a certificate of qualification and then register. After registration, continuing education is required every three years, and the certificate obtained upon passing such continuing education exams remains valid. The concept of being exempt from the basic exam still exists today; for example, it’s said that after graduating from undergraduate studies, one can be exempt from the basic exam if they’ve worked for a certain number of years.
The continuing education exam is for testing professional knowledge
This remains valid indefinitely; it exceeds one registration period, usually 3 years, and continuing education is required, but it hasn’t started yet, so there’s no need to worry.
