Also stated by the authority
Not requirements in themselves. These are alternatives, exemptions, rights and warnings the authority publishes alongside the requirements — quoted here because they can change what applies to you.
- Examples the authority gives: certified care workers
該当例としては、介護福祉士。
- Since 1 April 2020 the status is granted regardless of the route by which the Certified Care Worker qualification was obtainedA widening, recorded because someone who qualified by a route that was previously excluded may not know the bar has moved.
