Career consultants must complete renewal training to keep their registration
Career consultants who want to keep their registration must take renewal training within their renewal period, meeting a minimum number of hours before they renew. The training has a knowledge part, which updates knowledge of labor laws and the job market, and a skills part, where people pick courses that fit their experience. A government-designated knowledge course of at least 8 hours covering all required subjects is enough to meet that requirement.
What does it mean?
If you work as a career consultant in Japan, you have to take refresher courses to keep your registration. The knowledge course keeps you up to date on labor laws, and the skills course lets you choose training that fits your work.
