For corporate Japanese training in Singapore, a useful budget begins with a defined programme and participant group. This guide uses Japanese Explorer’s published corporate-package examples and a practical quotation checklist. It does not apply overseas pricing ranges to a Singapore team.

Key takeaways
- Use programme-specific published figures as a reference, not a quotation for a larger team.
- The corporate page lists a standard 16-hour package, company registration and per-student materials.
- Prepare participant numbers, starting levels, workplace objectives and scheduling needs before asking for a quote.
- The checklist here is a buyer tool, not a promised Japanese Explorer pilot, approval process or delivery timeline.
Published corporate-package figures and their limits
| Corporate programme | One student | Two-student format | Taught hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conversational Japanese | S$1,280 | S$1,480 | 16 hours |
| Business Japanese | S$1,480 | S$1,780 | 16 hours |
The corporate Japanese training page is the source for these examples. Confirm the charging basis for your participants rather than splitting the two-student figure into individual invoices. The page lists one-time company registration of S$100 and course materials at S$50 per student. Confirm all applicable charges and GST treatment in your actual quote.
These corporate figures are distinct from the private conversational course, which lists S$1,580 for its two-student conversational format. Use the offer relevant to the programme; neither figure is a general market rate.
What to define before requesting a quote
- Headcount and starting levels: say who would attend and what they have studied.
- Workplace tasks: identify the communication you want to practise, such as introductions, emails or meetings.
- Programme and hours: distinguish conversational from business Japanese and specify the proposed taught hours.
- Delivery: ask about your preferred venue or online arrangements rather than assume they are included.
- Schedule: give the time slots and start preferences your team can realistically attend.
These details help frame comparable proposals. They do not establish a class-size discount, an instructor premium, a venue surcharge or a rule that prices scale linearly.
A blank brief to use in your request
The following is a suggested buyer worksheet, not the school’s official intake form or a pre-approved training package.
| Detail | What to write |
|---|---|
| Participants | Number of learners and relevant starting experience |
| Objectives | Specific workplace situations to practise |
| Format | Preferred venue or online arrangement to discuss |
| Availability | Possible dates and time slots |
| Hours | Desired taught hours or a request for a recommendation |
| Quotation | Tuition, registration, materials and any other applicable line items |
Leave unknowns as questions. Do not insert an assumed free pilot, bespoke syllabus, fixed launch date or promised proficiency outcome.
What the corporate page actually publishes
Japanese Explorer describes conversational and business Japanese programmes using an AJALT curriculum with bilingual teachers. The standard published package is 16 hours, arranged as eight two-hour lessons, to be completed within three months.
The page describes delivery at its training centre or the company, custom corporate classes for two to 12 students, and a quotation for classes with more than three participants. Since only one- and two-student example prices are listed, request the actual quote for another headcount; do not interpolate a three-person price.
The corporate page is the relevant source for programme scope. Where a proposed business group has a starting-level requirement, confirm it with the school rather than applying another programme’s entry rule automatically.
Procurement checks before agreeing dates
- Send the same scope to the providers you compare.
- Ask for the proposed programme, hours, participants and venue in writing.
- Separate tuition from registration, materials and any other charges.
- Check the instructor and syllabus information supplied for your proposal.
- Confirm availability, the completion window, rescheduling and cancellation terms before agreeing a start.
No standard enquiry-to-start timeline is established by the published corporate page. Your own internal approval process and a provider’s availability are separate dependencies.
Agree useful practice objectives
Choose a small set of workplace tasks you want the training to address. Examples of objectives to discuss are introducing a team, opening a meeting or practising a polite follow-up email. Ask what practice and feedback the proposed package offers.
These are suggested objectives, not achieved case-study results or a documented Japanese Explorer assessment. Do not turn them into a promised revenue, productivity or return-on-investment calculation.
Check the terms that apply to your programme
Read the actual quotation and terms for payment, participants, delivery, materials, rescheduling, cancellation and completion. This guide does not supply a refund policy, an attendance allowance or a contractual protection the school has not published. Ask for clarification before agreeing the programme.
Keep outcomes within the agreed scope
A 16-hour package describes an amount of instruction, not a guaranteed proficiency level. The useful question is whether the proposed content fits the team’s starting point and intended workplace tasks. Further study needs depend on the learners and their goals; there is no guaranteed fluency or exam result here.
Request a programme-specific quotation
Use the corporate Japanese training page to enquire with your headcount, starting levels, objectives, preferred format and availability. Ask for the applicable fee breakdown and terms. If you are considering an individual business course rather than a company programme, use the separate business Japanese course.

FAQ
Can I use a published figure as a per-employee quote?
Not without confirming its scope and charging basis. The corporate page gives one- and two-student programme examples. A larger team needs its own quotation, including applicable registration, materials and other charges.
How do I judge whether the programme fits my team?
Identify the actual communication tasks and starting levels, then compare them with the proposed syllabus, hours and practice. This guide does not establish a financial or employment return.
How long is the published corporate package?
The corporate page lists 16 taught hours, eight lessons of two hours, to be completed within three months. Those are package terms, not a guaranteed time to a learning result or an enquiry-to-start promise.
Are corporate and general private prices interchangeable?
No. The corporate page and the general private-conversational page publish distinct offers. Use the programme-specific fee and request clarification for the intended learners and format.
