About SBA

We are more than a language school

SBA Development is a full-service Japanese business solution centre based in Pluak Daeng, Rayong — at the heart of Thailand's Eastern Seaboard industrial region. We understand what people working with Japanese companies need, because our team works inside them.

Alongside language teaching, we provide interpreting, technical translation, corporate training and consulting on Japanese workplace culture.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

The questions we are asked most often.

I have no Japanese at all — can I join?
Yes. The Foundation Japanese course is designed for complete beginners, starting from hiragana and katakana. No prior knowledge is required.
How much are the fees?
Fees and promotions change from term to term, so we do not publish them here. Message us on LINE and we will send you current pricing and available dates straight away.
Online or on site?
Most courses are live online via Zoom, so you can join from home or the office. For companies we also deliver training on site.
How do live classes differ from video courses?
Live classes are taught by a real instructor on a schedule, so you can ask questions immediately. Video courses are for unlimited revision. Many learners use both together.
What if I miss a class?
Let us know in advance. We have arrangements to support learners who miss a session — ask us on LINE for the details of your term.
