Not included was the civil service examination which has long been requested by OFWs in Hong Kong, as it opens the gates to securing good-paying jobs in the government. This qualifying examination, however, is administered directly by the Civil Service Commission unlike the other SPLEs which are all run by the PRC.
In addition to the May SPLEs, the Consulate said
there will be another licensure examination for teachers in September and
another for nurses in November. Details will be announced later.
