Applications are invited for the Promotion to Sergeant Qualifying Examination 2008. The deadline for application is June 30.

The examination will be held on November 2 at 10:30 am. Applicants are required to fill in and sign the unit/sub-unit application form personally.

Applicants should familiarise themselves with the "Instructions to Candidates" contained in the related PEN message dated May 30. Two new instructions have been added since last year:

To prevent malpractice or disruption, candidates are strongly advised not to carry electronic information devices, such as mobile phone, pager or PDA, into the examination hall. Candidates who bring such devices should switch off the power or turn to "silent" mode before putting them underneath the chair.

To maintain a good police image, candidates should comply with the smoking restrictions at the examination centre.

The format of the examination remains much the same as last year. For examination syllabus, see FPM 55-10 (Annex B) or refer to the Examinations Website.

For enquiries, contact the Examinations & Assessment Division at 2814-4313, 2814-4373 or 2814-4378, or the respective TSRO.
