Long Term Course
The long term course can be taken for 6 months, 1 year and 1 year and 6 months.
Students can take the 6 months course at GenkiJACS without going through the long process of applying for a student visa. Take advantage of the Core Course, add modules as you wish and most importantly, come whenever you want because this course starts at any time of the year.
The 1-year long course allows you to take the GenkiJACS core course with a total discount of 25%. For one year, the school will focus on communicative Japanese as well as all the subjects needed to pass the school mandatory JLPT exams (the cost of which will be covered by the school).
The 1 year and 6 months course is the longest program that GenkiJACS offers. This long-term visa course allows you to take the school’s core course for one and a half years at a 30% discount. Also, since GenkiJACS is accredited by the Japanese government, you can take this course without having to apply for a visa extension! For this and the 1-year long course the level must be below pre-intermediate. If the Japanese Language level is too high, the 6-month program should be considered instead.
