Before paying for a certificate, check whether it is in the national occupational qualification catalog or issued by an evaluation body on the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security's (人社部) filing list

In plain words
Some organizations use the names “new occupations” and “skill levels” to run classes at will, charge fees at will and hand out certificates freely, and some pose as authoritative bodies; the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (人社部) has cracked down on this. Before signing up, check three things: whether the occupation is in the national occupational qualification catalog, whether the issuing body is an evaluation organization registered with the human resources and social security department, and whether the certificate number can be looked up on an official platform. If you can't find it, the registration fee is wasted.

- Missing the cut for regular high school doesn't close the road: secondary vocational schools have pathway admission and separate exams into higher vocational college, and skilled-job postings can lower their education requirements
- Your education is not decided once and for all: the self-study exam has no age limit or education requirement, and adult college entrance exams and the Open University can also fill the gap
