To prepare for the exam, in addition to the inspection and monitoring force of nearly 30 people from Korea and the Overseas Labor Center - Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, Nghe An province also mobilized the Provincial Police, Vinh City Police and militia and self-defense forces to work together to protect the exam. In addition, to prevent candidates from using electronic devices, Nghe An police also mobilized four electronic detectors to detect cases of cheating candidates.
Previously, at the exam in late October, at the exam site organized by Nghe An, 16 cases of bringing phones into the exam room were discovered. Candidates who violated the rules, in addition to having their results canceled, will be banned from taking the exam for 2 years.
In addition, if a candidate is found to have falsified documents, the candidate's exam result certificate will be revoked and the candidate will be removed from the list. At the same time, the candidate will not be allowed to participate in the EPS program for 2 years.

In particular, to prevent candidates from changing their household registration or falsifying their identity cards, in the Korean Language Test for Fisheries Workers, in addition to the theory test, candidates will have to take a practical test. Regarding this, a representative of the organizing committee said: Candidates will have to take tests related to the sea profession such as mending nets, using carts, and transporting objects. The organizing committee will also arrange for candidates to work exactly like on a ship. In case candidates do not have experience or are not used to working in a marine environment, they will be eliminated because they are not qualified or they may be candidates who have impersonated "fishermen".
The competency assessment (practical) is expected to be held from December 22 to 25 for two professions: aquaculture and offshore and nearshore fishing.
