Is 44 years too old? For this program, almost certainly. Sorry to say this, but at least 15 years too late, maybe more.
Is there a housing allowance? HKD10K/month. Hopelessly inadequate - unless you're happy living in 500sq ft squalor in a VERY local area. Think "projects".
Salary on course? No. Pocket money, like for your teenage kids. Most of the children on course (unlike you) have no overheads - except Noxema and Clearasil.
A suggestion: read this entire thread, beginning to end, for your answers. It will take some time, but a small investment in what could be a disastrous decision.
And prepare to be flamed.
