Costs
Total course costs
The total course costs in these charts include class time, staff guidance and some school activities. For long-term studies of 6 months or more, the school charges a deposit fee of 40,000 yen per year for textbooks and course materials. This has been included in the above prices. Any unused deposit fees will be refunded at the end of studies.
*Important: The above prices apply to payments made in one sum. If you wish to make the payment in installments, the school adds a handling fee. For example, a student who pays in 6-month installments instead of 1-year payments will pay slightly more than a student who pays for 1 year in a single payment.
