Frequently Asked Questions
SNRC stands for Sakuraa Nihongo Resource Centre® — and Nihongo is
the Japanese word for the Japanese language. Since founding in
Malleswaram, Bengaluru in 2000, SNRC is India’s 100% exclusively
Japanese focused premier institution . Every instructor, every
curriculum, and every corporate programme is Japanese only. This
singular focus allows us to go deeper than any multi-language
institute in pedagogy, cultural expertise, industry relationships,
and career outcom
Complete beginners are our most frequent starting point. The JLPT N5 and NAT 5Q course begins with Hiragana and Katakana scripts, basic grammar, and conversational practice — no prior Japanese required. Our curriculum has been refined over the years. A free demo class is available with no commitment or payment, so you can experience our teaching before deciding.
JLPT (N5–N1) is the Japan Foundation’s globally recognised certification, held twice yearly in India (July and December). NAT-TEST (5Q–1Q) covers equivalent levels and is held six times yearly — January, March, May, July, September, and November — offering more exam opportunities. SNRC prepares students for both. Choose NAT-TEST for faster certification timelines; choose JLPT for international employer recognition or academic admissions.
The complete JLPT N5 to N1 pathway typically takes 30 to 36 months of consistent study. Each level takes approximately 3 to 6 months. Students who attend regularly typically complete N5 through N2 in 18 to 24 months. N1 requires an additional 12 months. The NAT-TEST’s six annual sittings can shorten your overall timeline. SNRC maps a personalised study plan during your initial counselling session.
Yes — through OJaS (Online Japanese at Sakuraa), SNRC’s dedicated online platform. OJaS offers live, instructor-led interactive learning with the same curriculum, instructors, and JLPT and NAT-TEST preparation rigour as our Bengaluru classroom. Students from Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, and across India are enrolled. It is not a recorded course — it is real-time classroom quality delivered digitally.
Every SNRC corporate programme begins with a needs assessment: we understand your team’s current levels, workplace contexts, and certification targets (JLPT or NAT-TEST), then build a fully bespoke curriculum. Our 52+ Unique FTJT (Full Time Japanese Training @ 8 hours per day ) corporate programmes across 22,500+ training hours have been delivered for premium names like Toshiba, Toyota, TCS, Wipro, Bosch, Sony, HCL, Mercedes-Benz, Rakuten, L&T, and Fujitsu. Training is available at your premises or online via OJaS.
Definitely. Understanding the culture is just as important as speaking the language. We’ve run over 180 hands-on workshops PAN India focused on Japanese culture and business etiquette. We cover everything from meeting protocols to the subtle nuances of exchanging business cards and navigating corporate hierarchy.
SNRC’s curriculum is built on the Japan Foundation’s Irodori /
Marugoto communicative syllabus and a JLPT and NAT-TEST preparation
framework refined since the year 2000. Our MICHI programme connects
students with industry leaders from Toshiba, Wipro, TCS, Rakuten, and
the Japan Foundation — bringing career context into the classroom.
This depth is possible only because we are 100% dedicated to
Japanese language.
-Sessions are interactive which helps students pick up Japanese conversation and
also remain focused in the class.-After every 5
lessons revision is done and also, tests are conducted so that
students can self evaluate themselves.-We provide mock
exam before JLPT which anyone can register for.
-Trainers also let students practice sample papers at the end.
-Trainers are also
available after the class hours to clarify student’s doubts.
