I'd contact the HKCAD for info first. As far as I know level 6 (native speakers) only need an Authorised Examiner (those check pilots who test Instrument Ratings and Aircraft Ratings) to sign them off. If you are below ("undetermined"), then you'd need a language expert. Back then they had to forward your voice recordings to somebody in Australia to get this done.
This info is quite old, but it came via mailing through HKAC from Peter Moores (who is one of the few who underwent a training course for Level 6 assessment together with Bob Tandy).
Another route is asking these guys:
Aviation English Language Solution
1203 Harcourt House
39 Gloucester Road, Wanchai
HK (SAR), China
Tel: +852 2528 9321
Fax: +852 2520 0329

The HKAC is only authorised by the CAD to do English ICAO tests for PPLs. It is not authorised to conduct tests for airline entry.
For CPLs and ATPLs, your recruiting airline will arrange this for you and this is acceptable to the CAD.
Note that a leading test officer will "arrange" outside private tuition if he "fails" your test but you have unlimited re-tests to pass (provided of course you "accept" the private tuition arrangement which is funded out of your pocket $$$).

what do you mean by fail test? there are 6 levels and level 4 is needed to get a HK licence, need to renew test every 3 years with level 4.
i just did the test, im a non native english speaking with 10 years flying jets and a foreign accent, i thought the test was not easy, many radios calls to answer, chats to jump in, emergency situations to explain, airport diagram and photos to explain etc...not sure how a new pilot or soso experienced pilot can pass...i hope to get level 5, level 4 would look bad...will know next week...what are your experiences with that english test?

There is no requirement to score higher at subsequent rounds.
The requirement is to achieve a pass in every head.
Good luck (with the tuition, if you're not a native English speaker).
