FAQ

Questions About the Cost

What does the Tokutei Ginou (SSW) programme cost at Nakamura Study Japan?

The Tokutei Ginou (SSW) programme fee is Rp 20,000,000 per participant. It covers the career and Japanese-language briefing, job matching and interview preparation, document guidance (checking your Rirekisho and walking you through the EKTLN, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, and visa processes), departure preparation, and continued support once you have started working in Japan. The official EKTLN, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, and visa fees are paid separately by the participant.

What does language training at a Japanese language school cost?

It depends on the school you choose, the city it is in and how long the programme runs, so there is no single figure that is true for everyone. Tell us your goal and your current Japanese level, and our team will work out the estimate with you at your consultation.

Can the programme fee be paid in instalments?

For the Tokutei Ginou (SSW) programme, financing of up to 100% of the programme fee is available. Repayment only starts once you have arrived in Japan and begun working, and the instalment is agreed together taking your salary there into account — it is not a fixed figure set in advance. The facility is subject to terms, conditions and availability; ask during your consultation.

What is not included in the Tokutei Ginou programme fee?

Not included: the official EKTLN, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, and visa fees (paid directly by the participant); SSW and JLPT exam fees; your flight to Japan if the receiving company does not cover it; the first medical check-up once a company has accepted you; getting your passport issued; the regular Japanese courses at N5 and N4 level; and the SSW Preparation Course. Guidance through the document processes and kaiwa practice for the job interview remain part of the programme fee.

Are the visa, EKTLN, and BPJS Ketenagakerjaan costs included?

The guidance is included; the official fees are not. You file the EKTLN, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, and visa applications yourself, with our team guiding you from which documents you need to how each application runs. Those official fees are paid directly by the participant, outside the Rp 20,000,000 programme fee. The programme fee does cover the document guidance, help assembling the Certificate of Eligibility (CoE) paperwork, and the P3MI fee where your departure has to go through one.

Does Nakamura write the Rirekisho and the employment contract for me?

No. You write the Rirekisho yourself, and our team checks it and gives you feedback until it is ready to send to a company. The employment contract is issued by the Japanese company taking you on — we go through it with you, together with the Kyujinhyo, before you sign.

Is the flight to Japan included in the programme fee?

It depends on the receiving company. If it covers the flight, the flight is included and costs you nothing. If not, the flight sits outside the programme fee and the participant arranges it themselves.

Is there still support after I start working in Japan?

Yes. Tokutei Ginou (SSW) participants keep a JLPT N3 preparation programme in the form of self-study materials, support while working in Japan, consultation for alumni, help with changing jobs, access to the alumni community, and alumni gatherings, seminars, and workshops as each programme runs.
