      Hi Jean,

      I think you should inquire directly to the tesda accredited school that offers call center course. You can start searching for schools using the official website of tesda.

    I’m really interested to work in Japan. Fortunately, I have a cousin and some old friends who already went here in Phil-Nippon and were able to make it to Japan. I’m a College graduate, Licensed Professional Teacher (with no experience yet) wondering if this institution has something to offer that suits my skills. But I’m also willing to learn new skills. I’m just bothered about my age. I’m already 32 and I don’t know if I would still be accepted if I would enroll there. Anyone to give me some piece of advice? I really want to go to Japan.

    Nice blog, but it would have been better if there is an active link to the form, and instead of saying “Fill Up” it’s actually “Fill Out”. But other than that, thank you very much for the information.
