ECCコンピュータ専門学校

What ECCコンピュータ専門学校 does

ECCコンピュータ専門学校 (ECC Computer College) is a private vocational school (専門学校) operated by 学校法人山口学園 (Yamaguchi Gakuen Educational Corporation) and headquartered in Kita-ku, Osaka, Japan. The school delivers 2-, 3-, and 4-year specialist programs through two colleges: the Game & Creative College, covering game programming, game CG/3DCG, and game planning; and the IT College, covering AI/systems, network security, IoT, IT development, and Web design. The 4-year expert courses confer the 高度専門士 credential, an advanced specialist title with university-equivalent standing for certain purposes. Curriculum is built on industry-standard tooling — Unity, Unreal Engine, Maya, and the AWS Academy curriculum — and is delivered via small-class, level-segregated, and individual-tutoring formats; 85%+ of enrolled students enter with no prior specialist knowledge.

The school's revenue model is direct-to-consumer tuition: standardized first-year enrollment fee of ¥1.42M (tax-inclusive, with a free laptop included) plus multi-year program fees, partially offset by AO scholarship awards of up to ¥70,000, tuition-waiver programs, and government higher-education subsidies. Go-to-market is event-driven and direct-recruitment, centered on open-campus events, AO admissions briefings, individualized consultations (online + on-campus), and an official LINE account. The customer base comprises Japanese high-school graduates (primary), university students and working adults (secondary), and international students (tertiary, served through dedicated 2-year SE and International Engineer tracks). Reported outcomes are 99.0% overall employment and 75.9% (game) / 92.3% (IT/WEB) industry-specific employment (2025 data).

ECC's competitive position rests on a dense employer network — approximately 500 companies visit annually, with 100+ game/IT firms participating in on-campus project exhibitions — and on a multi-year track record of Japan Game Awards (Amateur Division) wins, including six consecutive years through 2023. Named industry partners and hiring destinations include Bandai Namco Studios, Cygames, Square Enix, SEGA, Level-5, Yahoo Japan, NTT NEOMATE, Sakura Internet, Canon IT Solutions, Daihatsu, and AWS Academy. The school holds MEXT certification as a 職業実践専門課程 and ASPEC Valuable Practice School designation. Revenue, headcount, and enrollment figures are not publicly disclosed.
