Japanese Language Programme

Intensive Japanese at an accredited language school in Japan, the standard first step towards university, vocational college or work in Japan.

About this course

Japanese language schools are the entry point for most Nepali students going to Japan. Over one to two years you progress from beginner to JLPT N2 or N1 level through intensive daily classes in reading, writing, listening and conversation, with cultural activities and exam preparation built in.

The student visa allows part-time work of up to 28 hours a week, and schools support you to find accommodation and jobs. After completing the programme, students move on to Japanese universities, senmon gakko (vocational colleges) or employment with Japanese companies.

We work with accredited schools in Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka and other cities, and prepare you for the Certificate of Eligibility process, which requires careful financial documentation.

  • Grammar, kanji, reading and writing from beginner level
  • Conversation and listening for daily life and work
