ISI Academic vs Career Japanese – Which is better for JLPT + job goal?

I’m kinda confused choosing between ISI Academic Japanese and ISI Career Japanese, and would really appreciate some guidance from anyone who has experience with this

So my main goal is to learn Japanese properly, clear JLPT (at least up to N2), and eventually get a job in Japan. Right now, I’m basically at N5 level.

Because of that, I was initially leaning towards Academic Japanese since it sounds more structured and JLPT-focused. But at the same time, Career Japanese seems more practical if the end goal is working in Japan.

My confusion is:

– If I choose Career Japanese, will they still focus properly on JLPT prep (grammar, kanji, etc.)?

– Or is it more like they skip deep JLPT prep and focus mainly on business communication, interviews, etc.?

– Since I’m still at N5, is Career Japanese even a good option for me right now?

Also, I’d love some suggestions on which ISI campus/location is better, especially for:

– JLPT preparation

– Job opportunities / networking

– Overall student experience

If anyone is currently studying there or has already gone through this, please share your experience. Even small details would help a lot.

Thanks in advance
