150h online Japanese course
What is the 150 hour Japanese course?
It is an official and complete course that allows you to meet the minimum mandatory requirement demanded by all Japanese schools in Japan: to have studied at least 150 hours of Japanese or to have the first official Japanese language certificate JLPT5 or Nōken 5 before applying.
Our course is designed especially for those who do not yet have formal experience in the language or do not have an official certification such as the JLPT.

Why might you need to complete 150 hours of Japanese?
All language schools in Japan will ask you to prove that you studied Japanese in a serious and structured way.
This is to make sure you can keep up with classes when you arrive
If you don’t have a certification like the JLPT N5 or studies at an educational institution, this course is the safest way to meet the requirement and move forward with your process.
