Relevance to professional work.
The programs build Japanese to a business level of communication, targeting JLPT N2–N1.
This directly supports roles that work with Japan, from client relationships to a transfer or assignment in the country.
At this level, a professional can
- Hold meetings in Japanese
- Follow and contribute to discussions with Japanese colleagues and clients
- Read and write business email and documents
- Use appropriate business register (keigo, 敬語)
Supports roles involving
- Japanese clients, partners, or suppliers
- A Japan office or Japanese-speaking team
- A current or planned assignment in Japan
Instructors and coaches.
Every Kizuna instructor holds at least one of the following:
- JLPT N1 certification
- A teaching license
- 3–5 years in language education
Live lessons are taught by native Japanese tutors.
Progress coaching is led by non-native coaches who passed the JLPT N1 themselves and live and work in Japan.
