Network Engineer/Navy Vet looking for language school recs in Fukuoka for 2027

Hello All, Ive been wanting to make this post for a while but I guess today’s that day! Im 35 (M), a US Navy vet, and Ive been working as a civilian Network Engineer for the last 3 years handling switches, sd-wan, waps, and firewalls. Im currently making preparations for a long term transition/pivot to Japan, which includes enrolling into a language school for the April 2027 intake; Id like to use language school to bridge into an IT vocational school or a university program (with the goal of IT or Web3/blockchain infrastructure). Ive spent some of time looking into prospective regions, and Fukuoka is currently my top choice! This mainly came down to: 1. Being away from Tokyo! 2. Cheaper than Tokyo! 3. When I visited a few years ago, I enjoyed the vibe (almost reminded me of Yokohama) 4. FFLC since they award a Senmonshi. Since then, ive reached out to 2 “We’ll help you go to Language schools”, agencies. Those being Go!Go! Nihon, and Coto; but honestly I know they are biased which gets to the purpose of this post. Im looking for this subreddit to weigh in on about your experience (if any), advice, and options to hopefully assist me in making final decisions. I deeply want to learn the language and don’t mind spending an initial 2 years to properly learn. Id say that money is not an issue for me as I plan to self-sponsor. I have around $70k in liquid assets and a guaranteed monthly VA pension. Since I mentioned web3/blockchain, I’m also studying to take the HFCP exam before I go. Here are my burning question for you! A. Has anyone used language schools in Fukuoka as a bridge for IT or University? How was the support? B. What’s the job market look like in Fukuoka for an IT infrastructure guy? C. Besides FFLC, are there alternative schools in Fukuoka or nearby regions that have stronger reputation for routing older, professional students into technical higher ed tracks rather than younger language tourists?
