Timeline Builder
How long will preparation actually take?
Enter your current situation and target job track. This tool builds a realistic month-by-month preparation plan — and tells you honestly if your timeline is feasible.
Why this exists
Most workers underestimate how long Japan preparation actually takes. Language alone requires 6–10 months of consistent study from zero. This tool gives you a realistic picture before you commit to a program or pay anyone anything.
What the plan includes
Language foundation, skill assessment preparation, document gathering, application timing, and pre-departure steps — sequenced by your actual starting point and target track.

What is your current Japanese level?
Be honest — the plan only helps if it reflects where you actually are, not where you want to be.
Important note
This timeline is an educational planning tool, not a guarantee of any specific outcome. Exam dates, agency timelines, and employer schedules vary. Kanousei is not a licensed placement agency and does not represent employers or guarantee job placement. Use this plan to make better decisions — and always verify independently before committing money or signing anything.
