Application procedures

 I.) Full-Time Regular Programme (Certificate/ Diploma/ Advanced Diploma courses)
　
  • 　
 Applications can be made any time in a year. For those who are not having HKID or valid working visa, application should be forwarded to the centre preferably three months prior to the beginning of the intended programme to provide sufficient time for student visa processing.
　
  • 　
 Immigration requirement: students who come to study in HK MUST BE either a resident of Hong Kong, working visa and/ or student visa holder. Holder of tourist visa and/or visa exemption status is not allowed to study in any institution in Hong Kong. So, you must be clear about your visa status and apply for visa prior to your study. Otherwise, both you and the centre will be liable for violating the immigration law. Under HKSAR immigration policy, holders of student visas should not take employment, paid or unpaid. Thus, students who intend to work must obtain a work visa with the sponsorship of their employer and then make arrangements for studying at the centre. Applicants without a legitimate immigration status for study purpose will not be allowed to attend a class even if they are already in the school and have paid the fee.
　
  • 　
 Those who want to have a longer period of student visa (more than one school term), have to prepay the tuition fees for several terms by one installment along the course application before process of the visa application.
Alternatively, students may leave the first term tuition fee by Orientation Day and extend their student visa afterwards term by term in person at the H K Immigration Office before the visa expires.
　
  • 　
 Tourists who enter into Hong Kong with visa exemption status or tourist visa and want to apply for a CLC course MUST change status from tourist to student in person with the immigration office and this process normally takes one month.  To avoid frustration and possible delay in visa processing, students are advised to forward application to CLC as early as possible.
