How to register for our courses?

Registration

A parent's or guardian's signature is required for all new young learner (under 18) registrations (Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary courses) to acknowledge the acceptance of our terms and conditions. 

Please come to the Customer Services Centres in Admiralty or Tsim Sha Tsui in person for course registration. Should you not be able to come in person, please download and sign the registration forms below.

Places for the February Semester (Young Learner Courses)

Places are NOT automatically reserved for the February Semester.  Students may enrol for the February Semester at the time they enrol for the September Semester or as soon as you are sure of your child’s availability to ensure a place for your preferred class and time.  Places are booked on a first-come-first-served basis and are not guaranteed without registration.

Payment

You can pay by VISA, MasterCard, EPS or by cheque made payable to 'The British Council'. Credit card instalments (if applicable) and EPS must be done in person. Please note that we do not accept cash or post-dated cheques. 

The British Council cannot accept payments made from banks (or other financial institutions) sanctioned by the UK or any other relevant jurisdiction. Where the British Council discovers evidence of payment from a sanctioned bank and/or sanctioned financial institution we will freeze all funds related to that payment and will be unable to deliver the service for which the payment was intended. Please therefore ensure that you do not make payments from an account in a sanctioned bank and/or sanctioned financial institution.

Eligibility to Study in Hong Kong

You must present your HKID card or other valid documentation showing your eligibility to study in Hong Kong upon registration.

1. for any loss or damage to your property or any property in your possession in the course of engaging with the British Council or participating in courses as arranged by the British Council.

• The British Council reserves the right to assign any teacher, and arrange or change the venue, date and time of any scheduled or make-up class.
• We are committed to providing an inclusive learning environment in which children are supported to achieve their potential in a spirit of inclusion and acceptance. We value the abilities and achievements of all our students and recognise that parents hold key information and knowledge of their child which support these. If your child needs any additional support in class, please notify us by filling in the form available at our Customer Services Centre at the time of registration. Having this information enables us to help your child more effectively. Your information is held in the strictest confidence.

• In order to ensure a secure and happy environment that is conducive to learning for all students, we expect all our students to behave appropriately. Behaviour that causes harassment, alarm or distress to others is contrary to British Council values and any inappropriate behaviour may result in exclusion. In extreme cases, a student may be immediately and permanently excluded.
• Should any student cause class disruptions and prevent lessons proceeding as normal, students aged 9 years old and over will be placed on a behavioural contract. Should the student fail to adhere to the guidelines set out in the contract they may be excluded. In cases of exclusion, unconsumed fees will not be refunded and alternative compensation will not be offered.
