Web Development course in Tokyo

If you’re attending our 9-week full-time program, you only need to make sure you are eligible for a 90-day tourist visa. If your country is not in the list of eligible nationalities, we can provide supporting documents to apply for a short-term stay visa at your local Japanese embassy.

If you’re attending our 24-week part-time program, it’s important to check if you are authorized to stay in the territory for all program’s length.

Our fresh graduates looking for a job in Tokyo will usually find one within 2-3 months after the program.

A majority of our students (60%) will end up working as web engineers, either in back-end, front-end or full-stack positions. Companies hiring our alumni are small and medium startups with very friendly working environments.

Another 20% will work as UI / UX designers or product managers.

The remaining 20% will either launch their startup, work as a freelancer, or go back to their previous industry with their newly acquired skills.

Our latest Student Outcomes Report was published in August 2020, and is available here.

You do not need to be able to speak Japanese to join our program: all our curriculum, teaching platform, content and events are in English.

While speaking Japanese opens up opportunities when looking for a job, there are more and more companies in Tokyo ready to hire non-Japanese speakers. That said, JLPT N4 or N3 will be a proof that you are committed to living in Japan, and greatly helps communication within most companies.

At the end of each session, we organize a 10th optional week dedicated to helping our students prepare their job search and upcoming career. This tenth week consists of practical support on how to build a resume, creating or updating a LinkedIn profile and a portfolio page, or preparing for technical interviews.

We also connect our fresh graduates with a network of over 50 startups and recruiting agencies, and regularly introduce new job opportunities through a dedicated Slack channel.

Keep in mind that finding a job at the end of our program will strongly depend on your dedication and motivation before, during and after the bootcamp. Our most successful graduates have a genuine interest in tech and programming, and never miss an opportunity to build up their skills and broaden their knowledge.

You can refer to this article written by one of our alumni for a step-by-step guide on how to land a job in Tokyo.

Tokyo always had a reputation for being an expensive city to live in. The good news is, this is just a reputation. You can refer to this article for an estimated accommodation, food and transportation budget.

Our standard payment plan is as follows:
- Deposit upon contract signature (⅓ of the total tuition)
- Remaining balance due during the first month of the bootcamp

We do offer a payment option in three installments without extra fees for specific cases, upon request.
Please note that your spot will only be secured once we have received your deposit.

While arriving late or missing a class is not ideal, we understand that our part-time students have busy work schedules.

As such, we have the following in place to make sure missing a class does not impact the learning experience too much:
- From day 1, our students have access to our teaching platform, which contains all the challenges, flashcards and video lectures to be able to catch up at home
- Our dedicated Slack channel allows students to ask questions and get support during study-at-home sessions

That said, we expect our applicants to make sure that their schedule fits with the bootcamp, and that they will be able to attend all classes unless exceptional situation.

Before each in-class session, our students will have to:
- Watch the video of the corresponding lecture
- Go through the set of flashcards for this lecture

This is the minimum amount of work we expect from our part-time students outside of class, and represents 6 hours of studying per week.

On top of that mandatory homework, we strongly recommend to keep a steady studying pace by coding, reviewing exercises and key notions on a daily basis.
