Students with recognised qualifications may apply for exemption from DPE Paper 1. The processing fee is HK$400 and is non-refundable regardless of the result. If exemption is granted, an exemption fee of HK$1,100 will be charged by the HKSI.
The HKSI
exemption policy is independent of any licensing,

Individuals should refer to the latest requirements of
the relevant organisations for licensing, registration
and/or admission purposes before submitting their
application for exemption.
