Yes, both routes are accepted. Since April 2025 long-term language school applicants must show at least A1 Japanese, either by: - passing JLPT N5 (or NAT-TEST level 5, J.TEST level F 250+, etc.), or - 150+ hours of documented Japanese study from a proper institute with transcript/certificate

But schools and immigration look at the whole file. With only an hours certificate and weak interview, COE can be rejected. N5 pass is much safer.

JLPT is held twice a year, July and December. For April intake you are usually applying around Oct-Nov, so the December JLPT result comes too late for most schools. Plan the July exam if you can.

Also the financial sponsor documents matter a lot for Japan (sponsor income, tax clearance, bank balance certificate). Language is only one part.
