With effect from 1 October 2003, QP has been registered as a reimbursable course

examination fee and annual subscriptions which are not allowed under the funding).

CEF applicants must submit their applications to the Office of CEF before the
commencement date of their first module attempt. For details of CEF application and

7.4.2 Module Payment Procedure under CEF

The Labour and Welfare Bureau and the Office of the Continuing Education Fund have
imposed a payment procedure for all registered courses of the CEF. All CEF course
providers, irrespective of their first registration date under CEF, would be prohibited
from collecting their CEF registered course fees in a lump sum and be required to
collect the CEF registered course fees by equal monthly instalment.

For students who apply enrolment in a complete module (workshops and module
examination) and / or workshop only, the Institute will collect the respective enrolment
fees on an equal monthly instalments basis.
