Some Written Exams for Industrial Technician and Service Qualifications Postponed Again from June 14 to 21

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] The exam dates for some industrial engineer and service qualification written tests will be postponed by one week, from the 14th to the 21st of next month. This decision was made considering the difficulties faced by examinees preparing for the local government civil service exam scheduled for the 13th of next month.

The Ministry of Employment and Labor announced on the 11th that the industrial engineer and service qualification written exam dates will be adjusted from June 14 to June 21.

This is because some special job series in the local government open recruitment exam scheduled for the 13th of the same month require specific certifications as interview eligibility criteria and for additional scoring.

The Ministry stated that this decision was made anticipating the difficulties for examinees preparing for both the local government open recruitment exam and the industrial engineer and service qualification written exams.

The announcement dates for the postponed exam categories will remain as originally planned: August 7 for certifications related to additional scoring and August 28 for certifications related to eligibility requirements.

Previously, the Ministry postponed the technician, industrial engineer, and service written exams due to the extension of 'social distancing' measures to ensure examinee safety by complying with quarantine guidelines.

As a result, there was an overlap between the recruitment exam date (June 13) and some industrial engineer and service qualification written exam dates, leading to the adjustment of the industrial engineer and service qualification written exam date related to the recruitment exam to June 14.

However, considering the burden on examinees who would have to take the recruitment exam and the industrial engineer and service qualification exams on consecutive days, the Ministry decided to postpone the qualification written exam date by one week.

Among the 51 qualifications originally scheduled for June 14, 20 industrial engineer and service qualifications, including the Construction Safety Industrial Engineer, will be held as planned without changes.

Details such as the categories by adjusted dates will be announced later on Q-Net (www.q-net.or.kr) notice board, and relevant examinees will be informed via text messages.
