I have been trying to improve my Japanese to a business level in hopes of switching industries. Working full time it was hard to find courses that perfectly matched my working schedule. I took a 3-month intensive course here and it was really effective.- Elaine
We understand that plans change and you may need to alter your study schedule.
Coto proccesses refunds based on when you withdraw from the class.
In some cases - we can offer a full refund. In other cases we offer a partial refund.
Please note that changing when you study with us is regarded as a cancellation.
For example - if you were going to start intensive course in June, but then you decided to start in September - this would be counted as a cancellation.
If you are doing this before the required cancellation deadline - there is no penalty and you can shift your start date.
If you are leaving the country - we also offer the option to transfer your existing lesson credits / package to online course credits for our Online Courses
