The certification system consists of five levels, ranked from lowest to highest: Level 5 (Junior Worker), Level 4 (Mid-Level Worker), Level 3 (Senior Worker), Level 2 (Technician), and Level 1 (Senior Technician). These certificates are valid across all public and private institutions nationwide, providing significant advantages in both job seeking and long-term career development.
