logistics
Can remote-first students visit the Tokyo lab?
Yes, twice per cohort for scheduled lab intensives. Slots are limited; we publish dates before invoices are issued so you can plan travel.
What languages are office hours offered in?
English primary; selected office hours have Japanese support. We publish the roster each month inside the cohort calendar.
curriculum
Do I need a PhD to keep up?
No. We expect professional software fluency and some exposure to training models. Statistics depth varies by track; pre-reads list the heaviest modules upfront.
Are sessions recorded?
Core lectures yes, with a 30-day retention window unless your employer negotates longer storage under a separate agreement.
finance
How do installments work?
You may split tuition into three equal transfers. We document the total in yen on the invoice; card surcharges, if any, are listed separately before you pay.
tech
What GPU access is included?
Shared cluster hours are pooled fairly with quotas. Burst access exists for incident rehearsal weeks; details sit in the intake packet—not hidden in footnotes.
