Howdy Japanese Language School Nara



Line support

Howdy has a “line support system” that offers comprehensive assistance from pre-enrollment to post-graduation. Before enrolling, we conduct interviews with students about their future goals and suggest study plans and career paths that align with their aspirations. Throughout the enrollment, students will engage in numerous meetings with their homeroom teacher and the course manager, aimed at guiding towards their desired career path. For those interested, we also provide employment support even after graduating from a vocational school or university.
