I could be mistaken, but I think Gjun is not an English school. It's a testing center that offers IT exams, certification exams, Pearson exams, etc.

...okay, I'm definitely not mistaken. Because I have their catalog, it was sitting on my bed, and now it's sitting on my lap as I type this -- yep, definitely a testing center, not an English school.

Perhaps you're thinking of Kojen?

Geez, the low traffic in this forum leaves factually incorrect posts uncorrected for ages.

FYI, Gjun does, in fact, offer English classes and does hire foreign teachers to teach them. They advertise postings fairly frequently.

But does the Sanduo branch of Gjun offer English classes? That's what the OP was asking.

I've been in Gjun multiple times, including their Sanduo branch. I've talked to their staff about taking my IT exams there (I have taken several computer-based tests in Taiwan and am always on the lookout for a cheaper place to do it, hence why I was in there). I have never seen any English teachers or classrooms in there. I know that they offer computer-based English tests, but aside from that, I don't think they have any relation to the English language...

Maybe other Gjun branches offer English lessons, but I'm pretty sure that the one in Sanduo doesn't, because I have walked past it a gazillion times and I think it's just a computer-based testing center.

However, I think the best way to check is to simply walk in and say "Hey, do you guys offer English classes?"

Go check Tealit's latest ads, which feature Gjun's latest posting. Your point wasn't about a particular location's current course offerings, but that Gjun is not an English school and does not offer English classes. I'm saying you're wrong. They are primarily a computer training school -- hence their name 巨匠電腦. They are also a licensed language school and they do absolutely offer English classes. Ask them yourself.

Okay, fine, I believe you.

Maybe Gjun does offer English classes at some (or all) of its branches. I didn't think the Sanduo branch did, but admittedly, I did not walk around the entire building and open every single door. I might have missed something.

I didn't understand what the OP was asking so didn't bother to reply but you are indeed correct - my wife was offered a position teaching for Gjun so they definitely offer classes.

Sanduo location specifically?
No clue.

Doesn't seem like the OP cares too much anyways - he hasn't been back since he posted.
