*Due to teacher and classroom availability, classes may be scheduled for morning or afternoon. If a class has both AM and PM options, HK
residents who usually have family and work commitment are given higher priority to study AM class. PM class is reserved to study visa
holders whose purpose in HK is to study. Study visa holder students can apply for AM class if there is still quota left and allocation of quota
by lots drawing.
