Online from anywhere in Japan
Learn remotely with a program designed for online success, live classes, guided practice, and instructor support built into your week. Our cohorts are scheduled with Japan Standard Time (JST) in mind, so you can stay consistent, collaborate with your peers, and make steady progress alongside work and life.

Code Labs Academy is remote-first by design. That means the learning experience isn’t a “virtual version” of something else, it’s built specifically for online learners, with live sessions, hands-on labs, structured weekly goals, and feedback loops that keep you moving.
All bootcamps are available online, including Web Development, UX/UI Design, Cybersecurity, and Data Science & AI. You’ll learn through practical projects that you can add to your portfolio and keep improving after graduation.
To get the most out of the experience, you’ll need a reliable laptop/desktop computer, stable high-speed internet, and a comfortable setup for joining live sessions and completing project work.
Our live teaching and support are scheduled with Japan Standard Time (JST) in mind. You can join from anywhere in Japan, and if you’re joining from outside Japan, simply make sure the timetable works for your location so you can participate consistently.

Can I study online from anywhere in Japan?
Yes. You can join a Code Labs Academy cohort remotely from anywhere in Japan. Live participation is a key part of the experience, so our sessions are scheduled with Japan Standard Time (JST) in mind.
If you’re joining from another country, you’re still welcome to apply, just make sure the timetable works for you so you can attend live classes and collaborate with your cohort.
What are my options for funding in Japan?
Funding options vary depending on your personal situation and eligibility, but learners in Japan often explore a mix of routes:
• Employer-sponsored training budgets (common for upskilling within a current role) • Public education and training benefits, such as Employment Insurance Education and Training Benefits (教育訓練給付制度), when applicable (course designation and individual eligibility apply) • Company support tied to workforce development programs (for eligible employers), including initiatives such as 人材開発支援助成金 • Reskilling initiatives that combine training and career support (e.g., リスキリングを通じたキャリアアップ支援事業)
We also run discounts and occasional promotions. During your admissions call, we can talk through common options, what documentation is typically needed, and how learners plan their budget alongside tuition shown in JPY (¥).
