TRAINING FROM SCRATCH - INTENSIVE COURSE METHOD (GASSHUKU)
I'm not from Aichi-ken. Can I do the Japanese driver's license process from scratch using the intensive method with you?

Yes, it is possible. However, the process is a little different. In this case, we only do the follow-up at the Japanese driving school.
If you are from another province, please contact us for detailed information.

Do I need to speak Japanese?

At the Japanese driving school where the intensive course is held, there is no support in Portuguese.
We only accompany you on the first day. After that, you stay on the course without a face-to-face translator, with support for questions via WhatsApp.
There is a short Japanese level test, and we provide all the necessary study materials. Japanese must be sufficient for basic communication, as all classes and training are conducted with Japanese instructors.
We've had students with little knowledge of Japanese who were able to complete the process with ease. In addition, the school uses a simultaneous translation device during classes, which helps a lot.
We'll also send you a list of the words most commonly used in practical lessons. You don't need to be able to read or write Japanese.
