JLPT Exam Prep Study Program

Japan is a wonderful country, filled with great people. It is also a land that has great employment potential for Filipinos who can speak Nihongo, the language of Japan.

We have a VERY GOOD Japanese language program for those who need to pass the different Japanese language proficiency tests given by the Japanese government for visa and work purposes. We have training programs for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) exam!

The program is designed to help Filipinos learn enough Japanese to score high enough to get jobs working for a Japanese company, either in Japan or here in the Philippines. We asked guidance from The Japan Foundation when we created our course, and it is designed and taught by Filipinos who have also struggled as students to learn it! Some have even worked in Japan. With a 90% passing rate, we believe our JLPT training program is one of the best in the country! Our training program is also registered with TESDA. We are dedicated and want to help you accomplish your goals!


We can help you learn Japanese!

If you have no knowledge of Japanese, we can help you achieve the passing score on the JLPT you need to get that job you dream of. Each JLPT test level requires 150 hours of classroom study. Each course of 150 hours is divided into six (6) modules of 25 hours each. We can help you go as high as the JLPT level N3! The higher the level you can achieve, the better your chances are of finding a good-paying job!

These courses we offer can be taken in our classrooms or online. You can choose to study in a GROUP class or MAN-TO-MAN, where you are the only student in the class! We offer discounts for groups.


How much does it cost?

The cost for each module, whether CLASSROOM or ONLINE, is the same, but MAN-TO-MAN classes are more expensive than GROUP classes.

For GROUP classes, one module (25 hours) costs ₱ 3,999.00. The cost for the six modules (150 hours) for each group training level will be ₱ 23,994.00. There is a nonrefundable deposit of ₱ 1,500.00 for each module.

For MAN-TO-MAN classes, one module (25 hours) costs ₱ 6,999.00! The cost for the six modules (150 hours) for each man-to-man training level will be ₱ 41,994.00. There is a nonrefundable deposit of ₱ 1,700.00 for each module.

The fee for each training module includes instruction, materials, and all service fees and taxes. We accept payment in cash, credit or debit card, GCASH, or PayMaya. Please see our Payment Policy at the bottom of this page.

(Please note that the prices listed above are special for local Philippine individuals paying for their own studies. For companies or organizations, or for foreign students--with or without housing--wanting our Japanese training, the per module rate for GROUP classes is ₱ 4,999.00 and for MAN-TO-MAN the rate is ₱ 8,749.00.)


We also offer a very generous DISCOUNT POLICY for our local Filipino students who want to refer their friends. The more friends who enroll at one time, the more money you can save! Companies paying for the training of their employees and foreign students are not eligible for this discount program.
