How to Enrol
If you haven’t studied Japanese before, you are considered an ‘absolute beginner’. If you have studied Japanese previously, please see the information for New Students (non-beginners).
Starter Course
The Starter Course (Aki, First Term) is suitable for absolute beginners, and will start in April.
Enrolments will open Thursday, 4 April at 1pm (AEDT). Please find details on how to enrol on the Starter page.
This information is for new students who have studied Japanese previously.
Submit an enquiry
- Complete our enquiry form (below), and include details about your Japanese language background.
- If you are unsure of your Japanese level, you can use our self-level checker (included in the enquiry form) to determine which of our courses may be suitable for you.
- J-Course will get in touch with you within as soon as we can after receiving your enquiry.
Please Note:
★ There may not be space available in a suitable class right away. In this case, you will be placed on a waiting list, and will be contacted when a place becomes available.
★ Depending on class availability, non-beginners can enrol in J-Course after term has commenced. You do not need to wait until the end of term or for the beginner application period to contact us.
★ You can find information on our courses and their levels on the course overview page.
Placement Test
When a seat becomes available, you will be asked to complete a placement test to confirm the most suitable class level for you. This test consists of a written test that will be emailed to you, and a mini-interview online via Zoom.
Please note that this test is separate to the self-level checker.
Enrolment
- After receiving confirmation of your level through the placement test, you will receive an email asking you to enrol and make payment via Eventbrite or in person at our office.
- Once you have completed payment, you will receive a confirmation email from J-Course with your class details.
- You are enrolled!
