1. For details of the course timetable please click here.
2. Please arrive at the classroom 15 minutes before the class begins.
3. Student registrations are done at the start of the class, after recess and after lunch. The SPCA will validate attendance by checking your identity with your ID card. (Please note according to the AFCD’s guidelines, ID cards are provided on a voluntary basis. However, if the attendee is reluctant to show their ID Card for verification purposes they will not be allowed to sit the examination and an attendance certificate will not be awarded).
4. Attendees must remain quiet in class.
5. The use of mobile phones, paging devices and gaming devices, as well as smoking, eating, drinking, gambling, fighting and/or the use of foul language are prohibited in class. Sound recording, video or photography are also not allowed.
6. If registration is delayed due to the number of attendees, SPCA will conduct registration while the speaker delivers the lecture. Students should place their ID card on their desk for this purpose.
7. Any late arrivals, early departures or those away from the classroom for more than 45 minutes in a day will be considered absent.
8. There will be an IN/OUT record form placed at the entrance to the classroom. Attendees who need to leave and/or re-enter the room need to register their name and IN/OUT time accordingly.
9. No suspension request or a request to change to other modules will be entertained.
10. If a student falls sick and is not able to attend the class, they must email (training@spca.org.hk) before the class begins, and submit a copy of a medical certificate issued by a doctor within seven working days. Failure to do so will result in the student being considered absent and they will need to pay and re-sit the class.
11. Attendees will need to complete all modules and sit the examination within 12 months of attending the first module. Failure to do so will be considered a discontinuation, and fees will not be refunded.
12. Each attendee will be presented with a Course Handbook. In the case of loss of the handbook, students will need to pay HK$250 for a new one.
13. The SPCA holds the copyright of the Course Handbook content. Duplication of its content is prohibited.
