As part of the entry requirements, applicants for these posts will need to have obtained:
(a) Level 2 in the two language papers (Use of Chinese and Use of English) in the Common Recruitment Examination (CRE), or equivalent; and
(b) a Pass in the Aptitude Test paper in the CRE.
In addition, candidates' performance in the Basic Law Test (Degree/Professional Grades) (BLT) will be one of the considerations in the assessment of their suitability.
Applicants who do not possess the requisite CRE results, or equivalent, but have applied for the coming CRE and BLT scheduled to be held on October 10 and 17 in Hong Kong or tentatively on December 5 in seven cities outside Hong Kong (namely Beijing, London, San Francisco, New York, Toronto, Vancouver and Sydney) may also apply. Their applications will be processed subject to their obtaining the requisite CRE results.
Eligible applicants possessing the requisite CRE results, or equivalent, will be arranged to attend the Joint Administrative Officer/Executive Officer/Trade Officer/Transport Officer Recruitment Examination (JRE) to be held tentatively on December 5. Candidates residing or studying outside Hong Kong may take the JRE on the same date in any one of the seven cities outside Hong Kong as mentioned above. For the examination outside Hong Kong, it may only be held subject to the regulations and prevailing measures in that particular city in light of the development of the COVID-19. If the situation warrants, the examination may be deferred or cancelled. Any updates of the examination arrangements will be announced on the CSB's website at www.csb.gov.hk.
Applicants can make online applications directly through the CSB's website at www.csb.gov.hk.
