Japanese opens doors to travel, culture and careers
Knowing even basic Japanese changes how you experience Japan. You can read signs and menus, chat with locals and get far more from the culture. For students and professionals, a JLPT certificate is a clear, recognised way to show your level.
Good news for UAE learners
The Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) is now held in the UAE, at the UAE University Continuing Education Center in Al Ain, so you can take it without travelling abroad. Check test dates and available levels with the test centre before you register.
- Learn to read and write hiragana and katakana within your first weeks
- Speak from day one with useful, everyday phrases
- Move on to JLPT preparation when you're ready

ACE Education really helped me to improve my skills in Mathematics and to achieve good grades. The teacher was highly experienced and taught me from basic to advanced level. Thank you so much for all your guidance.
Kimberly
Mathematics Students
This class helped me to develop my essay writing skills that I previously was very unsure of. Sociology is a very broad topic, so it was difficult to be sure whether that knowledge I had and the way I wrote was even correct.

I was OK with all IGCSE subjects except Biology so I got a Biology tutor from ACE Education. She worked hard with me to develop an interest in Biology and just because of her kind support and guidance I scored B which is unbelievable as before her assistance I could hardly get D.
