SSW Preparation

About Courses In Nepal

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.
