Application Outline


The next application intake will be between September 2008 and November 2008. The application forms are only available at this time. There is only one intake of applications per year and that is always for a departure to Japan the following July/August.

Prior to your application there are many things you can do to show your interest in Japan and to aid your future application to JET. It would be possible for you to take the opportunity to study more about Japan, by reading Japanese literature, or watching Japanese movies; learning the language informally, or formally; or studying about Japan's culture and etiquette. It would also be beneficial to improve your knowledge of the UK.
NB: as well as submitting an online application there is also supporting documentation that needs to be sent in through the post. See below for details of what will be required. Please use this information to obtain the documentation to aid your early application in September/October 2008.
