SSW (Specified Skilled Worker) course is a Japanese language and skill-preparation program designed for foreign nationals who want to work in Japan legally under the Specified Skilled Worker visa. We offer a well-structured SSW/JFT Type1 preparation course, equivalent to the JLPT N4 level, specifically designed to open the door to employment opportunities in Japan. Our program is led by highly experienced teachers who have graduated from reputed Japanese institutions, bringing authentic language expertise and cultural insight into the classroom. Teaching is conducted in a friendly, supportive, and interactive environment, with special attention given to adjusting the learning pace according to each student’s ability. The course is strongly exam-oriented, covering listening, reading, grammar, vocabulary, and skill-based Japanese required for the workplace. In addition, we provide regular mock tests, exam strategies, interview preparation, and guidance on Japanese work culture, ensuring students gain both confidence and competence to successfully pass the exam and begin their professional journey in Japan.
The SSW program allows foreign nationals to work in Japan without a university degree. This program can be a great opportunity for those who have vocational training or work experience in the related field. To qualify, candidates must pass both a Japanese language test and a Skills Proficiency test relevant to their field, such as nursing, construction or food service.

Applicants who have completed Japan’s Technical Intern Training Program may be exempt from some tests when transitioning to SSW (I).

SSW follows a structured framework with specific occupational categories. Each field offers unique training, skills development, and career advancement opportunities. Professionals in various sectors can pursue SSW status depending on industry requirements and individual qualifications.
