When choosing a Professional Training College to take the exam, let's check whether the school is an accredited school ( Professional Training College ) or an unlicensed school.
The difference between accredited schools and unlicensed schools is whether they are approved by public authorities. Because unlicensed schools are not Japanese higher education institutions, we can not acquire the title of "professional" "advanced professional".
Professional Training College is a school that meets certain criteria determined by Japanese law and is approved by the prefectural governor, the Board of Education, and the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Therefore, it is also called "authorized school".
Also, the name " Professional Training College " can be named only by an accredited school. However, because " Professional Training College " is not necessarily a name that must be attached, even a Professional Training College may be the name of a school such as ○ ○ academy or ○ ○ gakuen. Therefore, although the name is one of criteria for knowing whether it is an authorized school or not, please be careful as it can not be judged only by that.
As for the other differences, in the case of unlicensed schools, you can not use public scholarships, commuting regular school days, using student discounts, transferring to universities, entering graduate schools, etc.
However, because it is an accredited school, it is not a bad school because it is a good school, unlicensed school. There are schools that do high standards education even at unlicensed schools. As an advantage of being an unlicensed school, there is no restraint by the law concerning class hours, the number of instructors, achievements, school building etc, so we can prepare a free curriculum and learning environment.

If you are concerned about Japanese language ability, you may want to try searching for a school that is actively supporting such support.
There are many uses of AO entrance examinations and recommendation entrance examinations as characteristics of entrance examination of a Professional Training College .
