After reviewing the Code of Discipline and checking the centre link at the bottom of this page, you may then apply for the course using the online application form. Applications by post or fax are no longer accepted. A student may apply to only one course at a time in Japan regardless of the center location or waiting list status. Please note course registration opens two months before the start of a course.
