RareJob, Inc. (hereafter “RareJob”), which utilizes data related to human resources to develop global talents, will begin offering the “Smart Method® Course”, online results-guaranteed English conversation program, for individual members.

Background of expansion for Individual Customers

In recent years, the number of English conversation schools specializing in “short-term intensive” and “coaching” has increased rapidly, and English learning services to support business people who need English skills have diversified. On the other hand, users need to go to school and coverage is limited for most of those type of services. In addition, there are not many services specializing in “improving speaking abilities.”

In addition to the RareJob English conversation service “RareJob Eikaiwa,” RareJob has been offering the “Smart Method® Course” for corporate users who need English immediately since 2018 to guarantee improvement in level of speaking*. This program specializes in the following two points: “can be used anywhere online” and “visualize speaking capabilities to ensure level-up.”

As all programs are completed online, they can be used both domestically and overseas. In addition, “cost-effectiveness”, that is “progress from English learning”, is the most important factor in English training at corporation. In such a demanding market, all graduates who have completed the program could improve their speaking level. We have steadily increased the service and users achieved improvement in English speaking level with an average of more than 1.3 levels*.
Based on our track record in guaranteeing the results of these corporate offerings, we hope to support even more business people, so we are now offering them to individual customers.
