How to Apply

This page explains how to apply for Part-1, Part-2 and the Advanced GSCC sessions (Consolidation), how we process applications, and our terms. Please read it before you apply.

A. Submitting your application

  1. Eligibility requirements: Make sure you meet all the requirements of the part you are applying for. If you are not sure, please contact us before you apply.
  2. Application form: Fill in and submit the form at the bottom of the part’s page: Part-1 · Part-2 · Advanced GSCC sessions (Consolidation)
  3. Training dates: The exact dates are confirmed by email about 2–3 months before the training. Once the training dates are confirmed, if the training dates do not match your schedule, then you will have an option to cancel your application and get a full refund for the deposit, or move your application (with the deposit) to the next cohort.
  4. Deposit: Pay the deposit and send us the proof of payment within 3 days. Payment instructions
  5. Acknowledgment: Once we have both your application form and your proof of payment, we put you on the waitlist and send you an acknowledgment email. If you do not receive it within 10 days, please contact us.

B. How we process applications

  1. General
    1. An application joins the waitlist only after we receive both the application form and the proof of deposit.
    2. We process applications one at a time, in waitlist order. When the cohort is full, we stop; the remaining applications stay on the waitlist and are processed first for the next cohort.
    3. If someone cancels at the last minute, we offer the place to the next applicant on the waitlist.
  2. Admission
    1. If your application is successful, you receive a Conditional Admission email with the conditions to meet and the deadline.
    2. Once you meet them, you receive a Confirmed Admission email with all the training details.
  3. Receipts
    1. You receive a receipt at the end of each part.
  4. Certificate of Completion
    1. You receive it after completing the full training (Part-1, Part-2 and the Advanced GSCC sessions (Consolidation)).
    2. Extra or replacement copies are available on request and for a fee.

C. Sponsored trainees

  1. General
    1. We welcome trainees whose fees are paid by their employer, either directly to us or as a reimbursement. Because employers’ approval and payment procedures can take time, the following rules make sure places are properly reserved.
  2. Application form
    1. Each applicant submits their own application form.
  3. Application deposit
    1. Within 3 days of the application form, we must receive one of the following:
      1. a formal purchase order (PO) from the employer; or
      2. a formal Written Irrevocable Confirmation (WIC) email from the employer, confirming it will pay the full fee and listing the sponsored applicants, the training part and the fee for each; or
      3. If the applicant pays the deposit personally, we refund it in full once the employer has paid the full fee.
  4. Balance of training fee
    1. The balance is paid by the date agreed between the employer and EMDRHK. A delay of 7–30 days incurs 1.5% interest; beyond 30 days, a further 1.5% applies for each additional month or part of a month.

D. Terms and conditions

  1. Not meeting the eligibility requirements: If your application is rejected because you do not meet the eligibility requirements, we refund your deposit minus an HK$100 administration fee.
  2. Incomplete application: If you submit the form but do not pay the deposit within 3 days, your application form gets cancelled automatically.
  3. Deposit: The deposit is non-refundable. The only exception is under the option stated in Clause A.3, provided that you have not previously moved your application and deposit from an earlier cohort for any reason.
  4. Conditional Admission deadline: Your place is held under the conditions in the Conditional Admission email. If they are not met by the deadline, the admission and application are cancelled without refund of the deposit and the reserved place goes to the next applicant on the waitlist.
  5. Changing GSCC sessions: Send us your request by email or through our CONTACT form; we will do our best to help. Any change is free of charge.
  6. Withdrawal or missing part of a training
    1. 21 days or more before the training: 75% refund of the amount paid, or move your application and payment to the next cohort
    2. 7–20 days before: 50% refund of the amount paid
    3. Less than 7 days before: Admission cancelled, no refund; 50% discount if you apply again for the next cohort
    4. No-show, or missing more than 2 hours of a workshop: Admission cancelled, no refund. In some situations, EMDRHK may be able to offer make-up supervision session(s) at a discounted fee.
    5. Special circumstances: In case of a death in the family, sudden illness or another serious emergency, contact us immediately with full details. EMDRHK will review the circumstances, may ask for supporting documents, and may offer make-up arrangements if justified. EMDRHK’s decision is final.
