Department of Public Examinations runs the workshop annually for each exam to inform invigilators of general examination rules, the safety of exam centers, the responsibilities of invigilators, how exams should be conducted, and how to resolve issues that arise during exams.

Although invigilator training workshops by DPE for A’ Levels and O’ Levels used to be held separately previously, Education Ministry said that one workshop would be held for all public exams this year.
