Professional Examinations & Recognition
VTC is committed to providing quality vocational education and training opportunities. Professional assessment and examinations are introduced to help enhance the professional standard of industry practitioners.
To help employees attain recognised qualifications, Pro-Act by VTC organises trade tests covering fields like automotive, beauty care, electrical & mechanical services, hairdressing, jewellery, metal, plastic, printing and publishing.
Vocational Assessment is a territory-wide competency assessment platform, through which in-service practitioners and trainees who have attained a unified competency level will be able to obtain a recognised qualification. The assessment helps industries standardise required skill levels, while making it easier for employers to identify the right talents.
VTC has built upon multipartite collaborations to develop the “One Examination, Multiple Certification” system. Through a standardised examination, candidates will obtain professional certification recognised in Hong Kong, Mainland China and overseas countries, making them more competitive and employable in the market.
