Aims and features

Features of Japanese Business Documentation

Exchanging documents written in Japanese must be everyday occurrence even for foreign affiliates and multi-national companies as long as they are working in Japanese market.
When it comes to making a business document, first of all, it is important that the documents are easy to understand so that readers can grasp the contents quickly. And then you have to pay attention to the following points in writing a business document in Japanese language.
In Japanese documentation, each sentence should be kept short and simple within 40 to 50 words. And, it is required to be written in an appropriate format according to each type of documents such as a business document and an internal document.

Insource’s Japanese Business Documentation Training focuses on the practical use.

As a pioneer of business documentation training, Insource has been providing various types of training programs on business documentation for a lot of companies and public offices.
The biggest feature of our training is that we are focusing on “the practical use of the training”. We provide the contents that encourage you to easily remember and apply what you’ve learned in the training to your actual work even after going back to your workplace.

“You are bad at writing.” can contain two different meanings. You may be poor at language ability, or you may be ignorant of business world. Therefore, you cannot write a proper business document when you try to improve only your Japanese language ability. The reason why our business documentation training is popular is that our instructors can tell how business writing skills are utilized in actual business scenes.

You will have many practical exercises including summarizing a media release and writing emails, reports, a minute and a request for approval to acquire business writing skills not only through lectures but also from hands-on experience.

Comments from participants

  • The training was really useful. I learned the importance of expressing responses while listening to the opponent. I will try giving responses in my workplace to encourage meeting and everyday conversation.
  • I thought the time spent on skills of e-mail writing was not enough for me. I liked the training with lots of exercises. But it would be better with more exercises.
  • I found even in complaint handling, certain frameworks and patterns are necessary. And I learned it is important to avoid writing according to a manual and arrange each document inconsideration of the other party.
