Studying at a Japanese language school Educational Requirements on Student Visa Help

Many language schools have a requirement for a diploma of 12 years of high school education however, I was wondering what exactly this translates to in other countries/cultures where the education system doesn’t match Japan’s or the USA’s.

I, for example, am British so I was wondering if what would be considered acceptable would be GCSE’s (often called O levels/GCE in other countries) or if they would be A levels, or perhaps either/or.

  2. According to IERF O-levels or GCSE’s are equivalent to 11 years of study so it wouldn’t meet the 12 year minimum. Has to be A-levels.
