No, absolutely not! Our JLPT N5 (Foundation) course is designed for absolute beginners. We start with Hiragana, Katakana, basic greetings, and simple sentence structures. If you already have some prior knowledge (e.g., self‑study or previous classes), you can take our free online placement test to join a higher level directly.
1. Fill out the online application form on our website. 2. Our counsellor will contact you within 24 hours for a free level assessment (if needed). 3. Choose your batch (weekday, weekend, online live, or 1‑on‑1). 4. Pay the course fee (online – UPI, card, net banking, EMI). 5. Receive study materials, class schedule, and login credentials. Simple and transparent – no entrance exam for beginners.
Absolutely! We offer dedicated weekend batches (Saturdays & Sundays, 10 AM – 1 PM) and weekday evening batches (6 PM – 8 PM). You can also opt for online live classes that fit around your work schedule. Many of our students are working professionals from IT, engineering, banking, and other sectors.
Not at all. We welcome school students (minimum 15 years old), college students, working professionals, and even retirees who wish to learn Japanese for travel, business, or personal enrichment. Our teaching approach is adapted to different age groups and learning speeds.
Yes! You can attend a 30‑minute free demo class (online or offline) to experience our teaching style, meet the faculty, and ask any questions. Simply contact our admission team to schedule your demo. No obligation to enrol afterwards.
Yes, we understand that life can be unpredictable. You can request a batch transfer (e.g., from weekday to weekend or online) subject to seat availability. A small administrative fee may apply, but we try to accommodate genuine requests at no extra cost.
Yes, all course fees include digital study materials: PDF workbooks, audio files for listening practice, Kanji flashcards, and mock test papers. For offline students, we recommend optional textbooks (Minna no Nihongo, Genki) which you can purchase separately. Online students get full access to our LMS with recorded lessons and downloadable resources.
Yen Academy follows the official JLPT syllabus and is an NSDC‑empanelled Sending Organisation, authorised to prepare candidates for opportunities in Japan under SSW/TITP programs. While we are not a government language testing body, our course content is aligned with international standards, and our completion certificate is accepted by many Japanese language schools and employers in India.
We offer courses for all five 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. All courses follow the latest JLPT exam patterns and include vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening, and mock tests.
Standard durations: 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). Weekend batches take slightly longer (4‑5 months for N5/N4). You can also opt for fast‑track or 1‑on‑1 coaching to accelerate your progress.
Absolutely. Every course includes weekly sectional tests and at least 5 full‑length JLPT simulation exams under timed conditions. You receive detailed performance analysis, answer keys, and personalised feedback. Our students consistently report that these mocks are very close to the actual exam.
Group classes have 8‑12 students, which keeps fees affordable and provides peer learning. Private 1‑on‑1 coaching is fully customised – you set the pace, schedule, and focus areas (e.g., speaking only, exam preparation, or business Japanese). Private coaching is ideal for busy professionals or those who need intensive support.
Yes. You can take our free online placement test (30 minutes, covering vocabulary, grammar, reading, and listening). Based on your score, we will recommend the most suitable starting level – you won’t have to repeat what you already know. This applies even if you have a JLPT certificate from another institute.
Yes. Business Japanese focuses on keigo (honorific language), email writing, presentation skills, telephone etiquette, and workplace culture. It is not directly tested in JLPT but is essential for working in Japanese companies. We offer a dedicated 2‑month BJT preparation course that includes role‑plays, case studies, and mock interviews.
Yes, we guide students through the online JLPT registration process (Japan Foundation website), share important dates, and help fill out the form correctly. However, the exam fee is paid directly to JLPT authorities. We also organise group registration for those who need assistance.
Our average JLPT pass rate is 85% for first‑time test takers. For N5 and N4, it often exceeds 90%. Regular mock tests, small batch sizes (max 12 students), and individual doubt‑clearing sessions contribute to these results. We are proud of our students’ achievements.
Yes! We have a dedicated placement cell that works with 25+ Indian and Japanese companies in sectors like IT, automotive, manufacturing, hospitality, and BPO. We offer resume workshops (including Japanese‑style rirekisho), mock interviews, and direct referrals. Many of our N3/N2/N1 students have been placed in companies like Toyota, Suzuki, Hitachi, and Indian MNCs.
Japanese language skills open doors to roles such as: Japanese language specialist, translator/interpreter, customer support (Japanese desk), IT engineer, sales coordinator, production coordinator, and tour guide. Companies in Pune, Bangalore, Delhi NCR, and Chennai actively recruit Japanese‑speaking talent for both domestic and Japan‑based roles.
Yes, for students who achieve JLPT N2 or N1, we provide specialised support for job hunting in Japan: preparing a Japanese‑style resume (rirekisho) and cover letter, connecting with recruitment agencies in Japan, and coordinating online interviews. We also assist with COE and work visa paperwork once you receive an offer.
While we cannot guarantee a job (as it depends on your JLPT score, interview performance, and market conditions), we provide 100% assistance – resume reviews, mock interviews, and direct referrals. Many of our students receive job offers within 3‑6 months of course completion. Our placement record for N3 and above is excellent.
Yes, we have tie‑ups with several Japanese companies in India 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. Internships are competitive and based on your performance in our mock tests.
Yes, if you secure a job offer from a Japanese company (typically requiring JLPT N2 or above), we help you with the Certificate of Eligibility (COE) and work visa application process. However, the final visa decision rests with Japanese immigration authorities. Having JLPT N2/N1 and a bachelor’s degree 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 (including MEXT scholarship guidance). Early exposure to Japanese can give you a significant advantage in the job market.
No, career support is included free of charge for all enrolled students. We believe that helping you succeed is part of our responsibility. There are no hidden fees for resume assistance, mock interviews, job referrals, or internship guidance. You only pay for your course.
Yes, our online live classes are fully interactive – you can see the teacher, ask questions in real time, share your screen for writing practice, and participate in breakout room activities. All sessions are recorded for revision. Many students have successfully cleared JLPT N5 to N3 through online mode, and we follow the same curriculum as offline batches.
We use Zoom for live interactive sessions and our own Learning Management System (LMS) for assignments, mock tests, recorded lessons, and downloadable study materials. You will receive a personal login ID and password after enrolment. Technical support is available for any issues.
