Written Examination for Candidates Applying for Registration as Lift Engineers and/or Escalator Engineers

In 1998, the Lifts and Escalators Sub-division of the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (“EMSD”) formed the Examination Committee (Registration of Lift Engineers and Escalator Engineers) (“Examination Committee”). Under the Examination Committee, the Examination Board (Registration of Lift Engineers and Escalator Engineers) (“Examination Board”) was formed. From 1998 onwards, the Examination Board has arranged written examinations for candidates applying for registration as lift engineers and escalator engineers (“the Examination”), to replace similar examinations which were organized by EMSD alone. 

The Examination Committee is formed with representatives from the City University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the University of Hong Kong, the Lift and Escalator Contractors Association, the Registered Elevator and Escalator Contractors Association Limited, the International Association of Elevator Engineers (HK-China Branch), and EMSD. 

The Examination Board is formed with representatives from the universities and EMSD. 

The Qualifying Examinations are administered by Institute of Professional Education And Knowledge (“PEAK”) of the Vocational Training Council (“VTC”), and will be conducted by the PEAK Examination Centre (“PEAK Exam Centre”) of the VTC.
