The RVP represents the period a qualification is registered on the Qualifications Register. So long as a learner commences the study of the learning programme for a qualification on the QR on a date during its RVP, the recognition of that qualification under the Qualifications Framework shall remain even after the RVP has expired.
Qualifications with expired registration validity period will be displayed as “Archived” in the “Registration Status”. To search an “Archived” record, you need to select the “Registration Status” as “Archived”.
Upon an initial search, you may use any combination of the “Filters” to narrow down the results. You may refer to the Search Tips for more details.
You may go through the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) mechanism that has been developed by respective industries to get recognition under the QF. Upon successful assessment, the industry specific Appointed Assessment Agency will grant you a qualification by means of a Statement of Attainment. For more information about the RPL mechanism, please visit the QF website at www.hkqf.gov.hk.
Non-local qualifications may be registered on the QR if they are accredited by the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications (HKCAAVQ). To find a QF-recognised non-local qualification in the QR, you can select the “Qualification Type” as “Non-local Programmes”.
Learning programmes not found on QR may not be quality-assured and are not recognised under the Qualifications Framework. It is up to individual learners to decide whether they wish to enroll in these programmes.
