Registration description :

The application period for the interest classes for children and parent-child groups in January 2023 is from 5 December (Monday) to 9 December 2022 (Friday). All interest classes adopt an application method of “registration first, and payment after draw”. Interested individuals can register for participation in the following ways: using the “Macao One Account” website / mobile application (Applicants are required to use the corresponding accounts of “Macao One Account” for login.), calling 28337676 or visiting the Integrated Services Centre or the Public Services Centres and their stations of IAM in person.

 

Students are required to show proof of a negative result of nucleic acid test which is valid within 7 days in the first class session of dance, fitness-enhancement or other interest classes in which face masks cannot be worn. Students of other classes are required to complete the course of two doses of novel coronavirus vaccine 14 days before their classes start (with a gold frame displayed on the Macao Health Code) or show proof of negative nucleic acid test result valid within 7 days in the first class session. If the mentioned requirements are not fulfilled, the students cannot participate in the classes they have enrolled in and the application fees will not be refunded. Please take note that IAM will make adjustments to the interest classes depending on the latest situation of the pandemic.

 

Classes for parent-child groups require the participation of a parent or guardian who must be the same person stated in the information submitted upon application. Only one item can be registered in the same category. If the number of people registered has exceeded the quota, “computer ballot” will be used to determine the admission list. The lists of admitted students will be uploaded to the IAM website (www.iam.gov.mo) on 13 December, and those admitted will be notified by SMS. Those admitted are required to complete the payment procedure from 13 December to 19 December. People who failed to complete the procedure in the mentioned period will be disqualified.

 

If classes are not full after the payment period ended, the remaining quota will be filled in the order of the waiting list. IAM will notify those who are admitted by telephone on 21 December. They are required to complete the payment procedure before 23 December. If the classes are still not full after the replacement period, IAM will make an announcement on the IAM website on 28 December. Interested individuals are welcome to pay attention to the above. All remaining quotas are available on a first come, first serve basis until the classes are full.

 

Recreation and sports classes involve a certain amount of activity. Participants should evaluate their own physical condition to determine whether they are suitable for participation. All interest classes are conducted in Cantonese. Students should bring their identification document for verification of identity by staff on the first day of class. If the number of people who enrolled and paid the fees have not reached 50% of the quota, the interest class will be cancelled.
