FAQ on Post-Assessment

Q1.
I received my Report. What am I supposed to do with it now?
 

Ans

 

You can decide what you want to do with the Report. However, please note that the assessment of your qualification(s) is neither an institutional nor a programme accreditation. The assessment result does not represent any recognition status of the qualification(s) or institution(s) on the Report nor should it be publicized or published by any person or institution for such purpose.

If your purpose for qualifications assessment is teacher registration/appointment, you can decide whether you would like to submit it to your employer or Teacher Registration Team of Education Bureau.

 

Q2.
I received my Report. Can I register as a teacher in Hong Kong?
 

Ans

 

Education Bureau is the decision making body for local teacher registration and will consider the assessment outcome as one of many factors to determine whether the applicant could be registered as a teacher in Hong Kong. You may want to visit Education Bureau’s website or consult them for advice.

Q3.
I’ve lost my Report for Qualifications Assessment. Can you re-issue another one?
 

Ans

 

Please note that completed assessment cases are retained for a period of five years and are then disposed of, therefore Replacement Reports will not be issued for cases after 5 years. If your Report of Qualifications Assessment was issued less than 5 years ago, please email qainfo@hkcaavq.edu.hk for procedures to apply for a Replacement Report.

Q4.
My Report indicates that my teacher training qualification does not meet the standard of local teacher training qualification. However, I taught in schools many years overseas. Can you count my teaching experience as well?
 

Ans

 

The assessment does not consider work experience on their own. Please note that post-qualification working experience is also not supervised teaching practice as described in Guidance Notes for Application.

Q5.
My Report indicates that my teacher training qualification does not meet the standard of local teacher training qualification. Which programme should I study to be a registered teacher?
 

Ans

 

We are not in a position to advise what measures you should take to be a registered teacher in Hong Kong. Locally recognised qualification, including locally recognised teacher training programme, could be found in Hong Kong Qualifications Register (https://www.hkqr.gov.hk/)

Q6.
My Report indicates that my teacher training qualifications meet the standard of local Postgraduate Diploma in Education/Bachelor of Education Degree/Teacher’s Certificate. However, there is no statement indicating whether it is Primary Education or Secondary Education, could you add that in?
 

Ans

 

Regarding the assessment outcome of whether a teacher training qualification can make reference to Hong Kong’s teacher training qualification, our assessment outcome would not state whether it is related to Primary Education or Secondary Education. The related assessment makes reference to the EDB’s assessment guidelines for teacher professional training, which do not differentiate between Primary Education or Secondary Education, therefore the assessment outcome would not state whether it is related to Primary Education or Secondary Education.
