How to Apply for a Vehicle Rescue Certificate?
2 Answers
To obtain a vehicle rescue certificate, trainees must participate in and pass the Vehicle Rescue Technician Examination conducted by the "China Vehicle Rescue Network." Upon passing, they will receive an honorary certificate for Vehicle Rescue Technician issued by the "China Vehicle Rescue Network." Below is the relevant information: 1. Article 23 stipulates: For engaging in freight transport operations other than hazardous goods transport, applications should be submitted to the county-level road transport management authority; for engaging in hazardous goods transport operations, applications should be submitted to the municipal road transport management authority. 2. Requirements: Possess a motor vehicle driver's license for at least one year; be under sixty years of age; have no record of major traffic accidents in the past three years; understand relevant regulations on road passenger transport, basic knowledge of motor vehicle maintenance, and passenger first aid; obtain the corresponding professional qualification certificate after passing the examination.
I just got my vehicle rescue certification last year, and the process was quite straightforward. The first step is to confirm whether your driving experience meets the requirement—usually, you need at least one year of driving license validity. I enrolled in a local qualified training institution for a one-to-two-week basic course covering towing operations, first aid, and mechanical troubleshooting. After completing the course, I took a theory and practical test—the practical part involved simulated towing or rescue scenarios, which wasn’t too difficult. Once passed, I submitted an application form, a health check report, and a copy of my driver’s license to the transportation authority. The cost ranged between 1,000 and 2,000 yuan. After a few weeks, I received my certification. Now, I can work part-time as a roadside rescuer, earning extra income while helping others—definitely worth it. Before enrolling, I recommend checking reviews of multiple institutions to choose a reliable one, saving both money and hassle.
