The Organizers

The Oh! Study group was first established in 1995 and has quickly grown to be the largest student recruiting center in Taiwan. Prior to 1995, the center’s Director, Mr. Brian Hockertz, worked for the Canadian government to set up and operated the Canadian Education Center in Taiwan.  The Canadian recruiting division was established in 1995 and the American division in 2003.  The Oh! Study Center has three offices in Taiwan (Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung). In 2009, the center will send 2500 students overseas to pursue their studies with over 2000 successful placements being made in 2008.

The Oh Study Centers have over 50 trained professional staff members offering schools and students a full range of services. We offer students professional counseling to assist them with their future study plans and school selection. Once schools are selected we assist with school, housing and visa applications. Our group’s travel agency, Oh! Ya! Travel is also the student ticketing centers for Air Canada, Delta Airlines, Qantas, Air New Zealand, British Airways and Eva Air. Further assistance is provided to arrange airport pickup, pre-departure training classes, purchasing insurance and traveler’s checks, as well as comprehensive post-landing services.  Services to schools include: student recruitment, marketing assistance, student case processing, student-school communication and problem solving throughout the student's term of study.

Until 2009, Oh! Study only promoted programs in Canada and the United States.  Currently one-third of the Canadian student market and close to ten percent of the American in Taiwan goes through our center.  We actively send students to over 200 institutions in Canada and the United States.

Oh! Study also organizes large-scale promotions to promote studying abroad to Taiwan students. We organize Taiwan’s largest overseas education fair, the International Education Expos, twice a year in the fall and the spring. This event is sponsored by the American and Canadian government representative offices in Taiwan.  The Oh! Study Centers also publish ten to fifteen catalogues and education guides annually and maintain extensive web pages to promote international study abroad opportunities. In the spring of 2009, we launched a new web-based radio station -- the Oh! Zone, and a companion English-learning site -- the Oh! Learning Zone.

If you are looking to break into the Taiwan market or if you would like to develop your current position in these markets, the professional staff at the Oh Study Education Centers would be pleased to assist you!
