 It is said that the best way to learn a language is to live in a country where that language is spoken. This is because language learning not only involves the spoken word but the background behind them; history, culture and values. If you want to learn Japanese and make your dreams come true, ECC will do our best and help you from your very first step.

About going on to university or technical college.
 After studying Japanese at ECC, most of our international students go on to study at universities, graduate schools, or technical colleges in Japan. The rate of going on to the next stage of education is 100% of the applicants.

 ECC students receive special recognition from many universities and colleges for their excellence. Some students are admitted into the universities with only a document screening and/or an interview on the recommendation of ECC. There are 13 universities willing to accept such recommendation.

 After the completion of the language course, students are also welcome to continue their education with us by taking one of our many career courses (Hotel, Tourism, Airline etc.) at ECC Kokusai College of Foreign Languages or ECC Computer College or ECC Artist College. In such cases, if you fulfill requirements, the entrance test will be waived. In this case, all entrance fee and from 20% to 40% of the school expenses will be remitted.
