From vocational school to bachelor's degree, Yongbo Continuing Education's complete path to academic upgrading is explained in one article.

When you're not in trouble, you don't realize the importance of academic qualifications, but when you need them, you find that they create obstacles everywhere—promotion, professional title evaluation, civil service exams, points-based residency, children's schooling, every single one of them puts "associate degree or above" or "bachelor's degree or above" at the top of the list.

The first thing Yongbo Continuing Education did was to help working professionals complete their diplomas.

Who are the three main paths best suited for?

Adult Higher Education Entrance Examination : A nationwide unified entrance examination is held every October, with graduation taking 2.5 years after admission. The exam is not difficult, and those over 25 years old receive bonus points. Suitable for those seeking stability, with limited free time, and who don't want the hassle of a stressful process.

Self-study exams : There is no entrance exam. After choosing a major, you can apply for graduation by passing each subject. The fastest completion time is 1.5 to 2 years. Suitable for those with strong learning abilities who want to obtain certification as quickly as possible. We are a private self-study exam support institution; this is our main business.

Open education : No entrance exams, entirely online, 2.5-year program, high graduation rate. Suitable for those who simply don't have the time or prefer a simple process.

What academic qualifications can I obtain?

From vocational high school to associate degree, associate degree to bachelor's degree, and even postgraduate entrance exam preparation, the program offers a complete range of education. Graduates receive nationally recognized degrees, are electronically registered with the Ministry of Education, and are verifiable on the China Higher Education Student Information System (CHESICC) for life.

What can you do with this degree?

• No longer be held back by your educational background when it comes to promotions, salary increases, or job advancements;
• When applying for intermediate professional titles or taking professional qualification examinations, one must meet the registration requirements.
• Applying for Shanghai Residence Permit Points and Applying for Residence Permit to Shanghai Permanent Residence;
• You are eligible to apply for postgraduate entrance exams, civil service exams, or public institution exams.

How to learn while working

All degree courses are taught simultaneously through face-to-face instruction, live streaming, and pre-recorded videos. You don't need to quit your job or travel to the school every week—just come to the campus once a weekend and watch the replays in your spare time during the week. Your class advisor will follow up on the entire process, from application and assignments to final exams and graduation applications, so you don't have to worry about missing any steps.

A suggestion

The earlier you start pursuing higher education, the more proactive you are. It generally takes 2.5 years from registration to obtaining the certificate, so don't wait until your resume is rejected by the system or your child is about to register before you begin preparing.
