Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry, National Technical Qualification Exam Successfully Conducted After Two Months

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] The Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Chairman Jeong Chang-seon) announced on the 10th that it has resumed the national technical qualification exams, which had been suspended for a while, from the 6th in order to practice 'social distancing' to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the safety of examinees.

The Chamber of Commerce and Industry conducts national technical qualification exams for 13 categories, including computer utilization skills, throughout the year. However, the exams had been suspended for about two months since March due to government guidelines following the upgrade of COVID-19 response level to 'serious.'

However, from the 6th, as the government shifted to 'distancing in daily life,' restrictions on qualification exams were eased, allowing examinees who wish to obtain the Chamber of Commerce and Industry national technical certificates necessary for employment and promotion to have the opportunity to take the exams again.

In line with the resumption of exams, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry has implemented infection prevention measures to ensure examinee safety, such as installing partitions between seats and reducing the number of examinees per exam room by 50% to maintain spacing between examinees. They also plan to thoroughly manage COVID-19 prevention by restricting exam participation for those not wearing masks or with fever, and disinfecting all surfaces contacted by examinees at least once a day.

Chae Hwa-seok, Executive Director of the Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said, "The repeated suspension of exams has caused great inconvenience to examinees," and added, "We will strengthen COVID-19 prevention measures so that examinees visiting the Chamber of Commerce can take exams in a safer environment and take the lead in blocking community infections."
