To be qualified for registration as a Grade C electrical worker, applicants without formal academic qualification are required to pass an examination approved by the Director. EMSD, the University of Hong Kong (HKU), the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (HKPU), the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) and the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA) have jointly organised an 'Examination for Registration as a Grade C Electrical Worker' for those who have sufficient years of practical experience in electrical work but without the recognised academic qualifications and wish to apply for registration as Grade C electrical workers.
