The Guizhou provincial admission brochure for international students (produced April 2026) gives an HSK level in the requirement column for four institutions. Each one applies it to specific programs, not to the whole school. A fifth institution mentions HSK3 only as a remark about moving into degree study. Of the 33 institution tables in the brochure, these five are the only ones that mention HSK at all.
HSK levels stated in the brochure
| Institution | Programs listed | HSK level stated | Other requirements in the same entry |

| 贵阳信息科技学院（Guiyang Institute of Information Science and Technology） | Bachelor, 电子商务, 4 years | HSK4 | 高中毕业或者具有同等学历 |

| 贵州经贸职业技术学院（Guizhou Vocational College of Economics and Business） | 专科, 电子商务, 15 places | HSK3级及以上 (HSK3 or above) | The brochure lists no other requirement for this entry |
| 贵州航天职业技术学院（Guizhou Aerospace Vocational and Technical College） | 语言生, 1 year, 汉语言课程 | Not an entry requirement. The remarks column says passing HSK3 allows transfer to the degree-student stage. | None listed for this entry |
Two entries need a closer reading:
- For 贵阳信息科技学院, the non-degree 电子商务 program (一年或两年) has "/" in the requirement column. The brochure states no HSK level for it.
- For 贵州航天职业技术学院, the HSK3 mention describes a possible later transfer. It is not written as a condition for admission to the language program.

Age requirements stated in the brochure
Three institutions state an age requirement:

The brochure does not give a numeric age for 贵州城市职业学院, 贵阳信息科技学院 or 贵州经贸职业技术学院.
