According to the latest draft Circular of the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC), the application and promotion profile for professional titles of officials in the field of ICT does not require foreign language and IT certificates.
The Ministry of Information and Communications is currently drafting a Circular guiding the standards, conditions, content, and forms of examination or consideration for promotion of professional titles of civil servants specializing in Information and Communications.
According to the Ministry of Information and Communications, this draft Circular was completed to ensure compliance with the Government's regulations on recruitment, use and management of civil servants (Decree No. 115/2020/ND-CP dated September 25, 2020) and has been consulted with the Ministry of Home Affairs as well as relevant agencies many times.
The new draft Circular has many points that have been revised and supplemented compared to the previous draft to ensure clarity, transparency and consistency when organizing exams and considering promotion of professional titles of specialized civil servants.
One of the new contents is that the Circular has detailed regulations on application documents or promotion consideration. Accordingly, there is no regulation on foreign language and IT certificates in the application documents or promotion consideration for professional titles of civil servants in the Information and Communications sector to be consistent with the current Circulars regulating professional title standards for civil servants in the Information and Communications sector of the Ministry, because these Circulars only stipulate "having qualifications" in foreign languages and IT but not "having certificates".
According to the Ministry of Information and Communications, the regulations on certificates and foreign languages for computer science in recruitment and promotion exams in the past have had many shortcomings. This new regulation of the draft Circular aims to ensure the implementation of the policy of simplifying administrative procedures, eliminating cumbersome and unnecessary regulations, creating favorable conditions for civil servants when participating in exams or considering promotion of professional titles.
