Separate business tuition from other charges
The business Japanese course lists group and private business formats with their own fees. Compare those offers directly; prices from programmes in Japan or general conversational classes do not establish the cost of a Singapore business course.
Ask for tuition, registration and any materials charges separately. The page lists business coursebooks, recorded lessons and online support, but confirm the charging basis and applicable terms before calculating a total. This guide does not establish GST inclusion.
Choose the format and starting level first
The published group business course is intended for working executives and professionals with an estimated JLPT N4-plus or N3 level. That is a suitability description, not a requirement this guide turns into a formal certificate rule. If your current ability is unclear, discuss it through the placement route.
A group course follows its listed intake and timetable. Private business lessons have separate scheduling arrangements and a published three-month completion window. Choose according to your starting point, workplace tasks and availability; do not assume either format produces a faster or guaranteed result.
Published Singapore business-course packages
| Format | Published tuition | Taught hours |
|---|---|---|
| Business group | S$350 | 8 sessions × 2 hours |
| Private business, one student | S$1,480 | 8 lessons × 2 hours |
| Private business, two-student format | S$1,780; confirm the fee basis | 16-hour package |
Source: the current business Japanese page. It also lists a one-time S$50 registration fee per student for private classes. Registration-waiver wording on the group offer is time-sensitive; confirm what applies to your enrolment.
For tuition-only comparison, S$350 ÷ 16 is S$21.88 per taught hour when rounded. The one-student private-business example is S$1,480 ÷ 16 = S$92.50 per taught hour. These calculations exclude additional charges and do not establish an all-in bill or a per-person split for the two-student format.
Build a budget from the actual quote
- Identify group or private business tuition and the number of participants.
- Confirm the package hours and any need for additional packages.
- List applicable registration, materials and other required charges.
- Confirm the campus, online format or venue agreed for that programme.
- Check completion, cancellation and rescheduling terms in writing.
- Keep any employer reimbursement or course funding separate until its current eligibility is verified.
Do not apply a general conversational price to a business package or extrapolate a two-student rate to a larger company team. For a company programme, use the separate corporate Japanese training page.
Match the syllabus to your workplace tasks
Japanese Explorer’s business page describes formal workplace communication, meetings, reports, presentations, email and related role-play. Bring your intended tasks to the discussion: for example, introducing colleagues, preparing a meeting opening or practising an appropriate email greeting.
Ask which tasks the proposed course covers and how you can practise them. A course description does not guarantee that one package will prepare you for every professional situation. Avoid sharing confidential company material when asking for a syllabus example.
Agree practical learning objectives
Define what you want to be able to practise, then use those objectives when comparing packages. You might keep a personal list of scenarios or agree suitable practice tasks with the teacher. These are suggested buyer checks, not a documented school assessment or a promised employment benefit.
Neither a package fee nor attendance alone establishes fluency, a JLPT result, a salary increase or a financial return. Judge the course against its stated scope and your starting level.
Choose the relevant course route
For a scheduled business group or an individual private-business enquiry, start with the business Japanese course. For general conversation, compare the current group Japanese course or private conversational course instead. For a larger workplace team, request a scoped corporate quotation.
The business page lists City Campus and Zoom options and separate private arrangements. Confirm availability for the specific course you intend to join rather than assuming it runs at every campus.

FAQ
Which price applies to general conversation?
General conversational and business programmes have different offers. Use the linked course owner for the format you intend to buy; this article’s table describes business Japanese.
What are the published business-package fees?
The business page lists group tuition at S$350, private one-student tuition at S$1,480 and a two-student private format at S$1,780. Confirm the charging basis, additional fees and applicable terms. The stated package is 16 hours.
What should I prepare before enquiring?
Describe your current Japanese ability, the work situations you want to practise and the timetable you can attend. Ask how the proposed syllabus fits those needs.
Do I need a particular starting level for the business group?
The school describes an estimated JLPT N4-plus or N3 ability level for group-business suitability. Discuss placement if uncertain; do not treat a school package or informal assessment as an official exam certificate.
What should I confirm before paying?
Confirm the programme, participants, taught hours, full fee breakdown, schedule, materials, completion window and applicable cancellation or rescheduling terms.
