In June 2022 we introduced GYS Online Classes, a Yangon-based course provider that was then teaching languages, management and soft skills mainly through private Facebook groups. Most of the people who still find that article are typing “GYS online class” into Google, which suggests they want to know one thing: is it still running, and how do you sign up today? We checked GYS’s own website and its Android app in September 2026. Here is what we could confirm, and what we could not.
Is GYS Online Classes Still Operating?
Yes. Its official site, gys.com.mm, is live and actively promoting courses, and its Android app on Google Play was last updated on August 7, 2026 (version 3.13.1). The Play listing shows 50K+ downloads and a 4.7-star rating.
According to the company’s About page, GYS began in 2018 as an organizer of seminars and events, and its founder Pyae Phone launched GYS Online Classes as an education startup in 2019. Those dates match what we reported in 2022.
The Biggest Change Since 2022: Telegram and an App Instead of Facebook Groups
In 2022, lessons were delivered as video files inside private Facebook groups, with Zoom sessions and Lives for language classes. The GYS homepage today is built around a different model:
- Free Telegram channels for each language. The site lists Thai (45,000+ members), English (55,000+), Chinese (15,000+), Korean (15,000+) and Japanese (7,000+), plus an official GYS channel and a channel run by the founder.
- Premium courses, which the site describes as more structured, deeper learning. These are not bought through the website; you contact GYS by phone, Viber or Telegram to enroll.
- The GYS Online Classes app (Android), where enrolled students log in to watch lessons. One August 2026 review notes that the app asks for a student number and password, so it appears to be for students who have already enrolled rather than a place to browse and buy.
Our read: GYS has moved its free, top-of-funnel content to Telegram, where it reaches far more people than a private Facebook group could, and uses that audience to sell paid courses. For a learner, that means you can try the teaching style for free before paying anything, which is a genuine advantage.
What Courses Are Available?
The Google Play description lists the current catalogue in four groups:
- Languages: English (from Basic Grammar and Sentence Construction to Business English, speaking courses, a conversation club, and classes for young learners), Chinese Levels 1–6 plus Chinese for kids (using the Hanyu textbook), Thai Levels 1–4, Korean Levels 1–4 (using the Yonsei textbook), Japanese Basic, N5 and N4, and French Basic.
- Management: HR Management, HR Payroll, HR Labour Law, Admin & Office Management, Business Management, Sales Management, Customer Service, Customer Relationship Management, Project Management, General Management and Leadership.
- Business: Business Model Canvas, Facebook Marketing, Business Essential, Life-Career & Business, and Introduction to Management.
- Personal development: Time Management, Marketing Management, Personal Goal Setting, Effective Communication, Money IQ, Master Online Selling, Content Marketing and Discover Your Passion.
Note that GYS gives different totals in different places: its About page says “over 35 different courses,” while its homepage says “70+ classes” (the latter may count each level separately). The 2022 article’s mention of upcoming IT classes does not appear in the current catalogue on either page.
How Much Does It Cost?
GYS does not publish a price list on its website. The only figure we found is in the Google Play description, which says courses start from an investment of around 20,000. The listing does not state the currency; for a Myanmar provider this would be kyats, but you should confirm with GYS directly. The homepage also offers a downloadable discount coupon for premium courses.
We have removed the 2022 prices (9,000 to 120,000 kyats) and the list of accepted banks and payment apps from this page. We could not confirm either for 2026, and old prices shown as current do more harm than no prices at all.
How to Enroll
- Start with the free Telegram channel for the language you want. The join links are on the gys.com.mm homepage.
- For a premium course, contact GYS using the details on its website: phone 09 255 483 028 or 09 7786 21070, or Viber +959 255 483 028. The site also links to a Telegram contact.
- Once enrolled, install the GYS Online Classes app from Google Play and log in with the student details GYS gives you.
A warning for iPhone users: an app called “GYS APP” appears on Apple’s App Store, but its developer is Kanaan Global School, not GYS Online Classes. It is unrelated. The GYS website mentions an Apple version but provides no working link, and we could not find an official GYS Online Classes app on the App Store.
Other Details Worth Knowing
- Address: GYS’s website currently lists No. 259, Thura 9 Street, South Oakkalapa, Yangon.
- Scale: GYS says it serves “over 100,000 online and offline students” and has more than 30 instructors. These are the company’s own figures, which we have not independently verified. In 2022 the figure it gave was 30,000 trainees.
- App quality: the app has a high overall rating, but several reviews from 2025 describe lesson videos loading slowly or showing errors. The latest update (v3.13.1) lists “bug fixes and UI enhancement.”
What We Could Not Verify
We did not enroll in a course. We therefore cannot confirm current fees, accepted payment methods, how long you can access a course after paying, or whether certificates of completion are still issued (all of which were part of the 2022 offer). GYS’s FAQ link returned a “page not found” error when we checked. If any of these matter to you, ask GYS before you pay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GYS Online Classes still open in 2026?
Yes. Its website is active and its Android app was updated in August 2026.

No price list is published. The Google Play listing says courses start from around 20,000 (currency not stated). Contact GYS for the price of a specific course.

The Bottom Line
GYS Online Classes is still operating four years after our first article, and its catalogue has grown, especially in languages. What has changed most is how you get in: free Telegram channels first, then a premium course arranged by phone, Viber or Telegram, then the Android app. If you are deciding whether to pay, the free channels are the sensible place to start.
