The claim
介護福祉士の国家資格は外国人だと不合格でも取得OK?
Original review summary
The review says the exception allowing qualification without passing the exam applies to graduates of designated training facilities regardless of nationality, so it is not an advantage reserved for foreigners. It also reports that foreign nationals made up many of those covered by the exception. This matches the review’s explanation: “措置に国籍は関係ない” and “特例措置が適用された外国人が多いことは事実だが”[S1]
Additional context
The review says the exception covers people graduating from designated training facilities by the end of fiscal year 2026; they may qualify without passing the exam for five years after graduation, subject to the stated conditions for continued registration. The source describes the rule as applying to graduates, not to foreign nationals specifically. [S1]
