Verified Education promotions in Hong Kong, with dates, spending thresholds and caps.
The Education category covers continuing education, language courses, vocational training, tutoring and interest classes, and course-fee subsidy schemes run by the government or public bodies. Common offers include subsidies or fee reimbursement, early-bird enrolment discounts, free trial lessons, retraining courses and discounts for enrolling with a friend.
Adults aged 18 or above can claim up to HK$25,000 in total towards approved Continuing Education Fund courses, with no means test. On the first HK$10,000 of subsidy you pay 20% of the course fee yourself, and 40% on the remaining HK$15,000.
No current offers in this category.
Before you enrol, check who qualifies for a subsidy, for example by age or residency, and whether the course is on the approved list; whether you pay first and claim the money back later, and what attendance or completion is required; the application deadline; the refund policy; the class times and location; and whether a free trial comes with a sales pitch for other courses. Think carefully before prepaying for a large package of lessons, and look into how long the centre has been running.
We mark government and public schemes "Public scheme" and list the subsidy cap, dates and conditions the source states, with the official source link and the time we last verified it. Anything the source doesn't state is marked as not stated rather than guessed, and offers and schemes are removed once they end.
It depends on the scheme. Many let you claim only after you finish the course and meet the attendance requirement. Keep your receipts and certificates, and follow the scheme's official guide.
Check how long you can access the course, for life or for a set period; whether the certificate costs extra; how long the refund window is; and whether you're charged in a foreign currency.
