The technical institutes offer a wide range of courses of different levels and modes of attendance in order to satisfy the needs of school leavers and people in employment on the one hand and those of industry, commerce and the service sector on the other.

Levels of courses

Craft (or Post-

Secondary 3/4)

Courses

These courses are offered in all modes of study. The main medium
of instruction is Cantonese. Full-time courses are designed to
incorporate craft theory and basic skills training related to specific
trades or occupations and thus provide an alternative route to senior secondary education. Graduates of a full-time craft course are awarded a craft certificate
and they normally join an apprenticeship scheme to become
qualified craftsmen. Part-time courses provide related technical
education to apprentices, trainees as well as people in employment.
Bridging Courses These courses are offered in all modes of study. The main
medium of instruction is Cantonese. One-year full-time
Technician Preparatory Courses provide bridging for full-time
craft course graduates seeking admission to respective technician
level courses in the institutes. Part time courses of one or two
years duration (including the General Certificate Course)
also provide bridging for other craft course graduates or
Secondary 3/4 leavers to relevant technician courses.
Technician (or

Post-Secondary 5)

Courses

These courses are offered in all modes of study. The main
medium of instruction is English. The courses are designed to
prepare young people for responsible, middle-level jobs in the
industrial, commercial and service sectors of the community.
A diploma is awarded to a student who successfully completes
a two-year full-time course. A certificate is awarded on
satisfactory completion of one-year full-time, a part-time
day-release or an evening course. Most of these awards
are accepted by local and overseas tertiary institutions as having
satisfied their requirements for admission to higher-level studies.
Short Courses The level of short courses varies from craft to higher certificate.
Normally, an attendance certificate is issued to a participant who
has attended not less than 80% of the scheduled class meetings.

Modes of Study

Full-time Full-time courses are of one or two years' duration and
normally extend over a study period of 36 weeks a year.
Part-time

Day-release

 Part-time day-release courses normally require attendance of one
full day plus two or three evenings a week. The duration of most
craft (or post-Secondary 3/4) courses is three years; however,
Secondary 3 leavers from prevocational schools, graduates from
industry training centres or technical institute full-time craft
courses are normally granted exemption from the first year of
a relevant course. The duration of most technician
(or post-Secondary 5) courses is two years.
Only apprentices/trainees sponsored by their employers or
from the industry training centres are admitted into courses of
this mode of study.
Block-release In this mode of attendance, apprentices/trainees are released by
their employers for short 'Blocks' of full-time studies ranging
from 6 to 18 weeks.
Part-time Evening Most part-time evening courses require attendance of three or four
evenings a week normally for two hours each evening. The
normal duration of these courses is three years. Classes are held
in the institutes or in rented school premises which are used as
outside centres. In the 1996/97 academic year, there will be a
total of 26 outside centres. Priority will be given to applicants
applying for admission to courses related to their work and/or
recommended by employers.
Short Courses Short courses on a wide range of subjects are offered both in the
term time and the summer vacation period to update the skills and
knowledge of people in employment. They may also be organized
on request by employers. Most short courses are run in the evening
at the institutes. The duration of these courses ranges from a few
hours to about 60 ho
