Candidates wishing to sit this exam in HK must apply both online using the RCPCH website ( https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/user ) AND submit paper applications to our College. Please study carefully the details of application as outlined in the attached circular.

We accept applications from both local and overseas candidates on a first-come, first-served basis. The HK exam centre has a fixed number of seats, and can no longer accept candidates once maximum capacity is reached. You are therefore strongly advised to submit your online application ASAP.

Those candidates who have never taken an exam with the RCPCH and/or do not have an RCPCH number are advised to first register with the RCPCH well before the application period. A RCPCH number is needed in order to access the online application forms for exams.

There will be TWO FOP TAS exams held in HK each year starting from 2016, one in February, and another one in October.

Thank you for your attention.
