Is “Akamonkai 12-Week Beginner Course” worth it?

Hi,

I’m planning to attend a Japanese language school next year (Q1), and they’ve asked for an N5 certificate along with proof of 150 hours of study.

As I searched around, I came across the *Akamonkai 12-Week Beginner Course* on GGN. From what I understand, it covers all the material needed for N5 and also provides a certificate confirming 150 hours of Japanese study upon completion.

However, the course costs around ¥114,870, which is around 700 dollars, a bit expensive.

So I wanted to ask: do you think this would be a worthy investment? Or are there better alternatives I should consider?

Thanks!
