Has anyone from a similar background successfully gained exceptions from some of the subjects and if so what documents did you supply to the HKCAD?
There was one guy, he's now left HK. He got away with it as he was employed and turned up at the CAD who said "what's this?" The company persuaded them to accept the exemptions, but since him have required the documents from the CAA with your exam scores. So unfortunately, it's a no go. Of course, they may have changed their policy since, so there's nothing to lose by asking. But knowing the CAD, I doubt it.
