The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) announced that the examination for registration as a Grade C electrical worker will be held on November 3 and 5 on PolyU campus. Application for sitting for the examination is now open until 30 September 2015.
There is no minimum entry requirement for the examination, although preference will be given to current registered electrical workers, in particular Grade B electrical workers. Any worker who wishes to be qualified for registration as a Grade C electrical worker is required to pass this examination.
According to Dr Lo Wai-chau, spokesman of the examination committee and Associate Head of PolyU's Department of Electrical Engineering, a candidate who has passed the examination will still have to fulfill the electrical work experience required by Hong Kong's Electricity (Registration) Regulations in order to qualify as a registered Grade C electrical worker.
This year, PolyU is again joining hands with The University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers and the Government's Electrical and Mechanical Services Department in organizing the examination.
"It is the Government's policy to encourage experienced workers in the field who do not hold a first degree to apply for formal qualification at the Grade C level." Dr Lo said.
Grade C workers are licensed to handle electrical jobs of "unlimited current", while those at Grade A or B levels deal with jobs of a smaller scale and with lower risks.
Details of the examination syllabus are contained in a booklet Notes on Examination for Registration as a Grade C Electrical Worker which is available free of charge at the following locations:
