The examination pays more attention to social workers' ability to apply relevant knowledge and effectively solve practical problems. It is reported that there are currently 400,000 people engaged in civil affairs and social work in public institutions, and there are more than 400,000 community employees nationwide.

Candidates who pass the examination will receive different levels of vocational qualification certificates issued by the Ministry of Personnel (now Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security) and the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
