According to the Voice of China of China Central Radio and Television, the professional title is a symbol that reflects the technical level and work ability of professional and technical personnel. There are a series of conditions and regulations for the declaration of professional titles. However, some institutions claim that they only need to spend tens of thousands of yuan, no need to take exams, no need to publish papers, and no need to apply for patents, and they can enjoy the "one-stop" agency service for professional titles. How is the evaluation of professional titles, which measures the level of technology, packaged as a business? Is the charge d'affaires who promise "but refund" reliable?
Mr. Shen, who works in a public institution in Hubei, told reporters that in June last year, he saw a job title agency information posted by "Career Internet" on the Internet, and added a WeChat consultation of sales staff. Considering that professional titles may be linked to career development, Mr. Shen spent 12,000 yuan and 13,000 yuan respectively to purchase intermediate engineer professional title evaluation services for himself and his son.
Mr. Shen said: "As long as you pay money, exams, publish papers, apply for patents, etc., he says that it is all inclusive, and you don't have to do anything, you can get a certificate, and it can be checked at the local social security bureau." I run a computer computer (intermediate engineer), and I want to run a computer for my son. After paying the money, he said that this certificate can only be used in private enterprises, and cannot be used by public institutions and scientific research institutions within the system. When I found out about this problem, I immediately said no. ”

Subsequently, Mr. Shen applied for a refund from the platform while waiting for his son's intermediate engineer professional title to be "certified". Mr. Shen introduced that his son graduated from a bachelor's degree last year and obtained an accountant qualification certificate, and the "job Internet" agent teacher informed him that his son met the declaration conditions and could handle the professional title of intermediate engineer in Tianjin, and the assessment results were expected at the end of the year. However, in March this year, the charge d'affaires teacher told Mr. Shen that his son's intermediate engineer had not been rated because he did not meet the application conditions, and explained that "the graduation period is no problem according to previous years, but the conditions for participation in the selected area have been adjusted".
Mr. Shen: At that time, your marketing teacher said that it was in line, why is it not in line now?
Charge d'Affaires: The junior accounting certificate cannot be used as an engineering title. If you use your 2023 undergraduate degree to directly evaluate the intermediate level, you were indeed found to be ineligible last year. Now the policy is indeed stricter, since the application of intermediate engineers for academic requirements are stricter, it is recommended that we can directly apply for a junior engineer.
The son's title was not done, and Mr. Shen's own agency service was also stuck in the refund link. According to an electronic course/service agreement signed between Mr. Shen and the platform, "Party B has the right to submit a refund to Party A within 7 days after the evaluation result is issued, and Party A shall arrange a refund within 30 days after deducting 40% of the actual amount paid by Party B and deducting the costs incurred (declaration fee, material fee, finishing fee, etc.)". At this time, it has been more than half a year since Mr. Shen first applied for a refund to the platform, and the after-sales personnel said that "services have been provided", thus calculating a refund amount that Mr. Shen could not accept.
After-sales personnel: We have released two papers for you, the ownership is yours, each is 4999 yuan, two down, you can only refund 2002 yuan, but this has not deducted 40% of the service fee. The contract is also signed, and the relevant service fee needs to be deducted, and the relevant service fee includes the thesis fee.
Mr. Shen's son's agency service also encountered a similar refund dispute. The only difference is that Mr. Shen's own agency service shows that the money was remitted to "Chengdu Vocational Education Consulting Co., Ltd." after payment, and the invoices issued and the electronic version of the course/service agreement are also signed by this company; For the son's agency service, the payee, invoice and electronic version of the course/service agreement are shown as "Xi'an Vocational Education Technology Co., Ltd." Mr. Shen specifically mentioned that although it was two orders, he contacted him online through the same "teacher" from the registration agency service to the submission of materials. During the entire agency process, he has never met any staff member of the "Career Internet", and the communication is carried out in WeChat or virtual phone.

The reporter inquired about the consumer service platform "Black Cat Complaints" and found that there were nearly 3,000 complaints involving "job surfing"; According to the keyword "vocational education", the platform displays more than 5,000 complaints from all over the country about "vocational education" inducing consumption and non-refunding. The reporter left a message on the official account provided by the official website of "Career Internet" on the grounds of consulting the intermediate engineer title agency, and then a salesperson called back and introduced the detailed rules of the title agency in detail.
Sales: We are doing "one-stop" all-inclusive hosting, papers, performance, continuing education hours, patents...... All the application materials are handled by us for you. For example, you may need to prepare 1-2 papers for intermediate titles, we will help you deal with them, you are the first author, and an electronic version will be sent to you after writing, if there is no problem, we will publish a journal for you; In the case of patents, the second author is generally the second author.
According to the charge d'affaires, construction, civil engineering, surveying and mapping, mechanical and other majors can be declared by the institution on behalf of the title
If I want to apply for an intermediate engineer in Beijing, is it feasible? The sales staff informed that it is difficult and expensive to handle in Beijing, and it is recommended to handle the title of Tianjin. "Where it is reported, it is the certificate issued by the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, but the certificates are all common throughout the country and can be checked on the Internet. For example, if you want to evaluate the cities around Beijing, we will give you a high-quality enterprise to match and cooperate, let you join their company in the form of talent introduction, and open a social security account for you as a part-time technical consultant, but do not make actual payment, it will not affect the uniqueness of your social security in Beijing now, which is equivalent to opening a supporting evidence, giving you a letter of dismissal until the end of the review, which will not affect your current work. ”

The salesperson denied the statement that "the payment package has been paid", but further explained that if the review is not passed, whether it is a change of major or a change of region, the platform can help continue to declare for free; There is also the option of a refund, which is a 60% refund of the fee. The sales staff said that whether it can pass or not depends mainly on "the quality of the material". "Why would the normal market price be cheaper, but our price is the case? It is to ensure that the material is grouped, and the cost will take a little 'effort', because the most important thing in the review is that the material is grouped and the relationship between the channel, and the cost is actually linked to the pass rate, if the price is too low, it will only reduce the cost of materials, the quality will be poor, and the pass rate will not be guaranteed. ”
According to a video on the official website of "Career Internet", "Career Internet" is a leading online vocational education platform jointly invested and incubated by New Oriental and ATA, and is currently operated independently by the original New Oriental team.
The reporter also paid attention to the fact that at the bottom of the Home of the "Job" website, the words "Tianjin Jobsheng Shangxue Technology Co., Ltd." were displayed, which was consistent with the company displayed in the business license that could be found in the "Job" App; When you enter the "Business Cooperation" page of "Career Internet", the bottom of the page is marked as "Beijing Vocational Education Technology Co., Ltd."
The salesperson said: "Tianjin is specialized in the application materials, but we have branches in Xi'an and Chengdu, and Beijing (Vocational Education Technology Co., Ltd.) is actually the Tianjin government before it was attracted to investment." One is the project brand, the other is the company name, they all belong to the same company, they are all one. ”

Not long ago, at Mr. Shen's repeated requests, the charge d'affaires finally provided two "papers" published for him, proving that the platform had already spent costs. According to the two sets of PDF files provided by the charge d'affaires, the two "papers" were published in the "China Science and Technology Information" (Issue 2, 2024) sponsored by the China Science and Technology News Society, and the "China Science and Technology Talents" (Issue 2, 2024) sponsored by the Science and Technology Talent Exchange and Development Service Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Mr. Shen was able to find these two "papers" from the website "Journal Network" provided by the charge d'affaires, but the reporter did not retrieve any articles published by Mr. Shen on CNKI and Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform. The reporter searched for "China Science and Technology Information" and "China Science and Technology Talents" in the second issue of 2024 on the above two academic websites, and unexpectedly found that the contents of the two journals seen here were completely different from the contents of the catalog displayed in the PDF file sent by the charge d'affaires to Mr. Shen. The reporter then checked with the editorial offices of the two journals:
Editorial Department of "China Science and Technology Information": CNKI can't retrieve it, it must not be published by us here, maybe he submitted a fake journal. We do not write ID numbers when we publish papers.
Editorial Department of "China Science and Technology Talents": He probably didn't publish a paper with us, and I don't have an impression of his name. Our papers can be found on CNKI, Wanfang, Longyuan, and Chaoxing. "Periodicals" is fake, and this website is not regular. He should have submitted a fake publication through a third-party intermediary, and we don't know if he knew about it, but we can judge that it must be a fake publication.

Recently, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security issued the Interim Measures for the Supervision of Professional Title Evaluation (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"). The Measures propose that credit management is to be implemented for individual violations, and that untrustworthy conduct in the title review will be an important consideration in applying for and reviewing professional titles or participating in the title review work, and that serious untrustworthy conduct will be included in the blacklist of untrustworthy in the application and review of professional titles, and punishments for untrustworthiness will be given in accordance with law. For illegal activities carried out by intermediaries and other social institutions unrelated to the evaluation of professional titles in the name of professional title evaluation, the measures make it the key content of the special rectification of the environment for professional title evaluation in all localities, and require local human resources and social security departments to punish and dispose of them in accordance with law in conjunction with departments such as public security, market regulation, and internet information.
The reporter noticed that recently, the human resources and social security departments in many places issued a statement on preventing fraud in the evaluation of professional titles, saying that they had never cooperated with any third-party agency or individual, or entrusted them to carry out any form of agency, consulting and other activities such as title review. Relevant departments remind that the main common frauds at present are: falsely claiming to be "acting on behalf of the certificate", promising "full agency" and "one-stop service", etc., and illegally making all kinds of false professional title certificates; Falsely claiming "internal channels" to induce people who do not meet the conditions or want to take shortcuts to pay high fees; falsely claiming that the "job title is over", signing an agreement through an online platform to charge high fees, and not giving refunds for various reasons; Falsely claiming that "the whole network can be checked", "hanging on the network" through false testimony information, and creating false query websites to commit fraud.
