Many of them have taken what they have learned, and applied it in areas such as business and research, while many others have gone on to continue their education at colleges, universities, graduate schools, and research centers all over Japan. All teaching staff meets the requirements of the Association for the Promotion of Japanese Language Education, an association aimed at improving the quality of Japanese language institutions by training school personnel and granting approval to those who meet the standards. The center was recognized as an accredited school by the Immigration Department of the Ministry of Justice in 1981 and as an intermediary for immigration-related procedures in 1987.
