1. It is true.
The news that the state canceled the massage therapist certificate in 2017 was released by the website of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, however, we should not be too nervous, this time the cancelation is only the certificate of the health care massage therapist, and other massage therapist certificates still exist.
2. Why cancel these certificates?
The relevant personnel of the China Medical Industry Association believes that most of the 90 certificates of employment with vocational qualification certificates are of no practical use, therefore, the state in order to reduce the existence of redundant certificates, the relevant departments of the personnel decided to cancel the massage therapist certificate of the state in 2017. The relevant personnel of the China Medical Industry Association pointed out that there is no practical use of the certificate does not have the need to exist, for example, we go to the market to buy things, so what is the role of the certificate we took to buy things?
Therefore, the state, in order to reduce the number of occupational qualification licensing and certification matters, promote decentralization and optimization of services, began to cancel the examination of some of the certificates that have no role. In addition, the relevant personnel of China Medical Industry Association pointed out that the government canceled the health care massage therapist is a professional induction certificate issued by social organizations and employers, rather than the massage therapist certificate issued by the formal institutions. If people want to engage in the massage industry, they can continue to obtain the relevant qualifications, and efforts to prepare for the massage therapist qualification examination, and do not need to give up the opportunity to take the examination.
