The Japanese language competency required for non-Japanese workers varies greatly according to their occupation and working environment. KGCC' s Corporate Seminars present participants with wide selections according to their goals and levels. We offer fundamental daily office conversation classes to advanced classes for students who need to cope effectively with a range of tasks such as writing business letters, presentation, and negotiations.
Schedule and curriculum of corporate seminars are totally customized to the needs of students. Classes can be held at KGCC school or we deliver an instructor to the students' company.
