📖【IMPORTANT: Chinese Language Requirements After Enrollment】

Students must continue improving their Chinese language proficiency after arriving in Taiwan to meet the program's academic and practical training requirements.

Students must achieve TOCFL Level A2 or above. Results from an approved Chinese language proficiency screening test administered by their vocational high school (listening and reading) may also be accepted.

⚠️ Students who fail to meet the A2 requirement will receive additional Chinese language support beginning in their second year. Their participation in industry training will be temporarily suspended, and they may be advised to return to their home country depending on their circumstances.

🔸 Before Graduation from Vocational High School (Grade 12)

Students must achieve TOCFL Level B1 or above, OR at least Level B1 in the listening component.

⚠️ Students who fail to meet this requirement will NOT be permitted to continue to the partner university and will be assisted by their school in returning to their home country. Chinese language screening tests are NOT accepted for this requirement.

💡 We strongly encourage interested students to begin improving their Chinese language skills early to prepare for studying, living, and participating in industry training in Taiwan!
