Engineer Work Visa

Hi guys

I just got an offer from a large reputable japanese company for a Product Designer Job in Tokyo.
Now, i'm a bit worried about my visa application… I have 8 years of experience in the field and i additionally did 4 years of apprenticeship while being employed in Switzerland. I saw some posts where people were saying that vocational schools outside of japanese don't really apply as an alternative to a bachelor degree but do you guys think the 4 years of apprenticeship could be considered as a work experience?

Thank in advance
