• Notes for Our Members

    1. Members may submit application for workshops, seminars and courses through the Internet, by phone or visiting Y.E.S. centres. In general, Y.E.S. will process members’ applications within 3 working days (except for courses which require a selection interview). Y.E.S. will issue email to notify members for all successful and unsuccessful training activities application. Members may from time to time login to member area at www.e-start.gov.hk to check relevant application status online or make enquiries by phoning Mongkok Y.E.S. at 2111 8533 or Kwai Fong Y.E.S. at 3188 8070.
    2. Members should arrive at Y.E.S. centres 10 minutes before commencement of workshops, seminars or courses.
    3. In case no prior notice is received, Y.E.S. centres reserve the right to deny members access to relevant workshops, seminars or courses if they are late for 15 minutes or more.
    4. Members are not allowed to enrol similar courses within a six months period. Moreover, each member can enroll for maximum 9 training activities per quarter. (Q1: January to March; Q2: April to June; Q3: July to September; and Q4: October to December.)
    5. Generally speaking, unsuccessful application will not be counted in the 9 training activities                 quota. However, in case a course is full and a member would like to be put on the waiting list, this will be counted as one quota used for the member; and for a course with requirement of screening applicants, the quota will be released before the course commences.
    6. Should members fail to attend 2 sessions within a period of 3 months without applying for leave or withdrawal at least one working day in advance, they will not be considered for enrolment in any training courses in the 2 subsequent months, and will not be allowed to participate in any of the training courses which they have signed up and are yet to be held.
    7. Should members select more than one training activity, please check if there is any clash on the training timetable. If there is a clash,             Y.E.S. reserves the right to enroll the member in any one of the courses he/she applied for, without any consultation.
    8. Members are reminded to bring along their member smart cards when attending workshops, seminars or courses so as to facilitate the recording of attendances.
    9. Should members find themselves unable to attend any workshop, seminar or course after being enrolled, they should notify Y.E.S. staff members at least 1 working day in advance so that resources will not be wasted.
    10. For any withdrawal from training activities that have already been enrolled, members are requested to notify the centre organizing the relevant activities (Mongkok or Kwai Fong Y.E.S.) directly, so that it could be followed up more efficiently. (Mongkok Y.E.S.: 2111 8533 or Kwai Fong Y.E.S.:3188 8070)
    11. Members shall be regarded as giving up their applications if they fail to attend selection interviews.
    12. Unless otherwise stated in course outline, only those members who have achieved a minimum attendance of 80% (in terms of total no. of hours of the course) in Y.E.S. certificate courses will be awarded a certificate. We only issue such certificates once, and members are therefore reminded to keep them with due care. Members should pick up their certificates in person at Y.E.S. within 3 months from the date of the course completed, otherwise the certificate will be destroyed.
    13. Air-conditioning devices are in operation in the Y.E.S. centres. Members are advised to bring along their jackets in case of need.
    14. It is forbidden to smoke at Y.E.S. centres or in the washrooms of the Office Tower. Offenders risk prosecution.
