    ₱9,000 — see what this price covers

    Prices for face to face Japanese classes in Davao City run from about ₱7,950 to about ₱19,800.

    A short beginner course costs around ₱7,950. It gives you about 30 hours of face to face class over one month.

    A longer basic program costs around ₱19,800. It runs for 3 months. Some centers include books, IDs, and uniforms in that price.

    Here is what the same money buys at PCT. You get 360 hours of face to face Japanese classes for ₱9,000. That is ₱25 for every hour you sit in class.

    Some students are also selected for a free JFT exam worth ₱2,010. If you are selected, your total comes down to about ₱7,000. That covers all your classes and a chance to take the exam.

    That's great value!
