Both classes are designed to learn Japanese necessary for business situations.
Business Japanese (Basic)" is a class for those who have obtained N2 or above and are thinking of working for a Japanese company or Japanese-affiliated company, or for those who need Japanese for their work.

This online course fit the time frame I wanted to learn.
During the course, I spent one hour preparing for the class and two hours reviewing. During the class, if I had any questions, I could easily ask the teacher, which was very helpful.
I have been working in my country planning events and supporting startups, but I am going to use my work experience and the Japanese I have learned in this course to find a job at a Japanese company.

I graduated from The Naganuma School. There are various online classes in my country, but I took Naganuma School courses online because I liked the teachers at Naganuma School.
It was my first time to learn business Japanese, and I learned how to use keigo (honorific expressions) and company etiquette, which is different from what I know in my own country. I joined this course because I thought it was an online course and I could take it easy, but the content was professional and the teacher was good, so I felt like I had to work harder. I would recommend this Business Japanese course to anyone who wants to work using Japanese.

I was busy with work during the week and was looking for a course where I could learn business Japanese on weekends.
I took a level-check test before taking the course, and I am glad that I was placed in a class with the appropriate level from the beginning.
During the course, I prepared for about an hour before class started and reviewed as needed. The teacher and students were all very active, and the class atmosphere was great. I think it will be useful for my work, so I encourage everyone to take the class.
