Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about learning Japanese at Yen Academy – from JLPT preparation to career support.

No, absolutely not! Our JLPT N5 (Foundation) course is designed for absolute beginners. We start with Hiragana, Katakana, and basic greetings. If you already have some knowledge, we offer a free placement test to decide the right level for you.
Fill out the online application form on our website. Our counsellor will contact you within 24 hours for a free level assessment and batch selection. After fee payment, you receive study materials and class login details (for online batches). No entrance exam – just a simple placement test if you have prior knowledge.
Yes! We have dedicated weekend batches (Saturdays & Sundays) for working professionals. You can also opt for our online live classes in the evenings (7–9 PM). Flexible scheduling ensures you can learn without quitting your job.
No, there is no age limit. We welcome school students (15+), college students, working professionals, and even retirees who wish to learn Japanese for travel, business, or personal growth.
Yes, we offer a free 30‑minute demo class for prospective students. You can experience our teaching style, interact with a faculty member, and ask questions before deciding to enrol. Contact us to schedule your demo.
Yes, we understand that life can be unpredictable. You can switch between weekday, weekend, or online batches subject to seat availability. A nominal administrative fee may apply, but we try to accommodate requests as smoothly as possible.
Yes, all course fees include digital study materials (PDFs, workbooks, audio files). For offline batches, you may purchase recommended textbooks at an additional cost. Online students get access to our Learning Management System (LMS) with recorded sessions and downloadable resources.
Yen Academy follows the official JLPT syllabus and is supported by experienced, JLPT N1‑certified faculty. While we are not a government body, our course content is aligned with international standards, and our completion certificate is accepted by many partner language schools in Japan.
We offer courses for all JLPT levels: N5 (Foundation), N4 (Basic), N3 (Intermediate), N2 (Advanced), and N1 (Super Advanced). We also have a specialised Business Japanese (BJT) course for professionals.
Typically: N5 – 3 months (120 hours), N4 – 3 months (130 hours), N3 – 4 months (150 hours), N2 – 5 months (180 hours), N1 – 6 months (200 hours). Duration may vary based on batch type (weekday/weekend) and your personal learning pace.
Yes, we conduct regular sectional tests and full‑length mock exams that simulate the actual JLPT. Detailed feedback and performance analysis are provided to help you identify weak areas and improve.
Group classes (up to 12 students) are more affordable and offer peer learning. Private 1‑on‑1 coaching is customised to your pace and schedule, ideal for exam‑focused preparation or busy executives. Both options cover the same syllabus.
Absolutely. You can take our free online placement test. Based on your score, we will recommend the appropriate starting level. You don’t have to repeat what you already know.
Yes, Business Japanese focuses on keigo (honorific language), email writing, presentation skills, and workplace etiquette. It is not directly tested in JLPT but is essential for working in Japanese companies. We offer a dedicated 2‑month BJT course.
Yes, we guide students through the JLPT online registration process, share important dates, and provide tips on filling out the form correctly. However, the exam fee is paid directly to the JLPT authorities.
Our average JLPT pass rate is 85% for first‑time test takers. N5 and N4 have even higher success rates (>90%). Regular mock tests and individual doubt‑clearing sessions contribute to these results.
Yes, we have a dedicated placement cell. We actively introduce our certified students (JLPT N3 and above) to Indian companies and Japanese MNCs in India. We also help with resume building, interview preparation (in Japanese & English), and direct referrals.
Japanese language skills open doors to roles in IT, automotive, electronics, hospitality, translation, interpretation, customer support, and sales. Many Japanese companies in India (e.g., Toyota, Suzuki, Honda, Hitachi) actively hire Japanese‑speaking professionals.
Yes, for students who achieve JLPT N2 or N1, we provide guidance on job hunting in Japan – including preparing Japanese‑style resumes (rirekisho), connecting with recruitment agencies, and coordinating interviews. We also assist with COE and visa paperwork for those who get hired.
While we cannot guarantee a job (as it depends on individual performance and market conditions), we provide 100% assistance – resume reviews, mock interviews, and direct introductions to our partner companies. Many of our students have successfully been placed within 3‑6 months of course completion.
Yes, we have tie‑ups with several companies that offer short‑term internships (3‑6 months) for students who have completed at least JLPT N4. These internships provide real work experience and often lead to full‑time employment.
Yes, if you secure a job offer from a Japanese company, we help you with the Certificate of Eligibility (COE) and work visa application process. However, the visa is ultimately decided by Japanese immigration authorities. JLPT N2 or above significantly improves your chances.
Absolutely. We advise school and college students on how Japanese language skills can boost their career prospects, and we also help with applications to Japanese universities for higher education.
