en.Wedoany.com Reported - From June 24 to 26, the theoretical examination and practical assessment for the vocational skill level certification of aids-to-navigation workers in the transportation industry were successfully completed in Yantai, Shandong; Ningbo, Zhejiang; and Guangzhou, Guangdong. Guided by relevant departments of the Ministry of Transport, organized by the Ministry's Vocational Qualification Center, and implemented by the North China Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea Navigation Guarantee Centers, this marks the first independent professional certification conducted by a public institution under the Ministry of Transport. It aims to implement President Xi Jinping's important discourse on advancing education, science and technology, and talent development in an integrated manner, signifying a key step in the construction of a skill talent evaluation system in the field of aids-to-navigation maintenance.
The certification content closely aligns with frontline practices. The theoretical examination emphasizes professional depth in areas such as the maintenance of visual and radio aids to navigation and safety management of aids-to-navigation operations. The practical assessment highlights key operational capabilities including inspection and replacement of lanterns, assembly, disassembly, and securing of buoys, debugging of multifunctional aids to navigation, and maintenance of bridge navigation aids. It also incorporates new elements such as data verification and maintenance of intelligent aids-to-navigation terminals, reflecting a composite evaluation standard for aids-to-navigation workers that requires "proficient operation, understanding of principles, and capability in operation and maintenance."
To ensure the fairness, impartiality, and credibility of this first certification, a multi-layered supervision system was established. Implementing units adopted a cross-evaluation and cross-supervision approach for assessors and supervisors. The certifying and organizing units formed inspection teams to conduct full-process oversight of exam paper confidentiality, examination discipline, and practical procedures. The dual mechanism of "cross-regional evaluation plus higher-level inspection" not only ensures the objectivity and fairness of certification results but also accumulates "pilot experience" for the standardized implementation of skill evaluations in the industry.
Aids-to-navigation workers are key maintainers of waterway traffic safety infrastructure, responsible for the inspection, maintenance, emergency repair, and intelligent operation of aids to navigation. They serve as a foundational force in ensuring unobstructed waterways, reducing navigation risks, and supporting the efficient operation of the water transport economy. This certification is a practical measure to implement President Xi Jinping's important discourse on "improving the treatment of skilled personnel and smoothing their career development channels" and "continuously cultivating high-quality technical and skilled personnel, skilled craftsmen, and master craftsmen." It is conducive to stimulating the intrinsic motivation of navigation guarantee personnel to "study operations, master skills, and become experts," thereby solidifying the talent foundation for waterway traffic safety.
