Today, geographical boundaries do not curb people from working abroad. By the same token, language is also not the wall that strain any individual to continue its academic or professional journey in any foreign country. In fact, the world is a mystifying yet beautiful place, where roughly around 6500 languages are spoken every minute. With the belief that language is the most powerful weapon which one can use to change the world, Navis Nihongo Training Center was established to provide Japanese Language assistance and enable people work with the world’s most advanced country, Japan. Steering through the borderline since November 2002, Navis also provides know-how of Japanese culture, which is essential for living in Japan.

During the course period, we enrich our students with veracious training and then send the aspiring one’s to Japan for acquiring necessary skills. After 3 to 5 years, when they complete their work period, we provide return placement assistance to the trainees who want to come back to India,” states Bharathi Raja V, Manager, Navis Nihongo Training Center.

"Navis is operating over a decade and elucidating Japanese Language lessons by certified native Japanese teachers"
