At least 2 years of employment insurance coverage (雇用保険) in Japan
(3 years if you’ve used Education and Training benefits before)

How it works
After paying the ¥250,000 deposit to secure your spot, you can spread the remaining tuition across installments:
Up to 3 monthly installments for our full-time bootcamps
Up to 6 monthly installments for our part-time bootcamps
The full tuition must be paid before the end of your program. There are no interest fees or commissions, just straightforward payments.
Eligibility
Your eligibility for installment payments will be reviewed after your first interview with our team. If you have any questions, feel free to schedule a call with us.
How it works: as a company employee, your tuition fee can be covered through an employee training subsidy program offered by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan. Your company needs to apply on your behalf through the official channel here.
Eligibility: your eligibility will be determined by your employer.
Check about the subsidy here (in Japanese). If you have any questions, feel free to schedule a call with us.
How it works: we offer an Early Bird and a Programming for Everybody discount of ¥50,000 (US $450) for our AI Software full-time and part-time programs. The early bird discount will be applied if you are fully enrolled (Student Agreement signed and deposit paid) 1.5 month prior to the beginning of a given session. You can benefit from the Programming for Everybody discount if you successfully complete our Programming for Everybody webinar series in Tokyo. Note that these discounts cannot be added together, or combined with the HelloWork subsidy.
Important: we do not offer ISA (Income Share Agreement) at our Le Wagon Tokyo campus.
How it works
Our AI Software and Data Science & AI bootcamps in Tokyo are eligible for a government-backed education loan supported by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (リ・スキリング等教育訓練支援融資). This loan can cover tuition fees and part of your living expenses during the bootcamp. Depending on your situation after graduation (such as employment and income increase), a portion of the loan may be forgiven.
Eligibility
You must register as a job seeker at HelloWork and complete a career consultation and application process before the start of the bootcamp. Eligibility is reviewed directly by HelloWork and the lending institution.

Future students often ask if they need new laptops for the course. While not necessary, as most programming isn’t GPU-intensive, we encourage choosing refurbished laptops to reduce electronic waste. Le Wagon Tokyo has partnered with Back Market Japan to offer a 10% discount on these sustainable options.
