I want to learn more in-depth IT expertise.

I have been studying programming since high school and wanted to gain more in-depth expertise in Japan and find a job in the IT field.

When I came to Japan and was looking for a school where I could learn specialized IT, one of my seniors introduced me to Nara Computer College.

The year I spent here was very meaningful and I feel happier than other foreign students. This is because the teachers are enthusiastic and passionate, and I can learn not only the IT field but also Japanese language and business manners necessary for finding a job.

I hope to make use of the IT expertise and skills I have acquired at the company where I have found employment.

Support for both study and visa renewal

One year has passed at Nara Computer College. I heard from my seniors that it is a good school and there was a lot of competition before I entered the school.

I feel great happiness to be able to study with you all at this school. The school is well equipped and has very good teachers. Students at all levels are given the utmost attention and it is easy to find career opportunities.

Also, the teachers are very supportive with visa renewal, not only in IT, but also in Japanese. In the second year, I will try my best to pass N1.

Let's work hard together!

Difficulty with IT? Worried about Japanese? Don't worry!

Before I enrolled in the school, I thought it would be difficult to learn IT knowledge, but the teachers at Nara Computer College are enthusiastic about teaching as well as high quality classes. They teach me a lot about difficult computer operations and Japanese language even during breaks.

In terms of living, the scholarship not only supported me in my daily life, but also motivated me to work harder in my studies.

In my third year, I will start studying for more difficult specialized knowledge and job hunting activities! Fight!

A lot to learn, but a great way to get a job.

Nice to meet you. My name is Yoshi. I have been studying at Nara Computer College for a year now.

Here, I learn everything from basic Word and Excel to programming, web design, Illustrator, and CAD design. In addition, there are also classes in Japanese, and I feel like my head is about to explode because there is so much to learn.

But the more I learn, the more things I can do in the future, and the more things I can do, the more I can get a job. Thanks to the guidance of the teachers, even I was able to obtain N1 certification in the JLPT.

I would like to get more certifications in the future. No, I will definitely do so. I'm sure I will! I will do my best!

Let's all work hard together toward our dreams.

Current 3rd Year Student, Mr. Y

Choose the best and do the best you can.

Hello नमस्ते! My name is Giri. My dream is to continue working in Japan in the field of IT for the next 10 years.

When I chose this school, I wondered, "Is it a good choice for my future? Can I stay in Japan longer?" During my 2 years of study at this school, I finally got answers to the questions in my head, even when I made bad decisions, thanks to the kind support from the teachers.

To all of you, my message is to choose the best and do the best you can. Never forget that you are the brand of this school.

Our teachers, who have a wealth of expertise, teach with enthusiasm and kindness.

It is not easy to study after you start working. Please try as hard as you can to pass JLPT N1 while you are still a student. Also, please do not give up on trying to obtain computer-related qualifications.

Qualifications will give you an advantage when you are looking for a job. If you do your best to make your dreams come true, you will surely reach your goals.

I wish you all the best!

Mr. M

Employment Destination: 株式会社エスケプランナ（Systems Development）

It is a warm school where teachers are enthusiastic and attentive, and they are also available for consultation.

Thanks to the teachers, I was able to get a job at an IT company. The programming language and business manners I learned at school were very useful.

To my juniors and seniors, I was a student who couldn't do anything at first. However, everything you are learning now will be useful in society.

Please study from the basics, and if you have any questions, please ask your teachers as many questions as you can. Please enjoy and challenge yourselves to do what you can only do while you are still students.

Even if you fail, it will help you in the future.

Mr. M
Country of Origin: Myanmar
Employment Destination: 畑ダイカスト工業株式会社（Metal Processing）

The school provides me with kind instruction in Japanese language, business Japanese, and IT necessary for finding a job.

I was able to make friends with people from many different countries when I enrolled in Nara Computer College. Thanks to the teachers, I was able to study Japanese culture, Japanese language, and business manners.

It was really hard to find a job because of Corona. I attended joint company information sessions and had many interviews. But thanks to the guidance of my teachers, I was able to find a job at Hata Diecast Industry Co.

I want to use the knowledge and skills I acquired at school to become a designer at the company.

To all juniors, I wish you all the best for your future.
