Frequently Asked Questions.
Do I need experience to apply?
No. Track 1 (Short-Form Director) starts from zero. Tracks 2 and 3 assume you’ve already shipped some content.
Can I keep my current job while attending?
Yes. Cohorts run on evenings and weekends. Track 3 is mostly online.
Is there a job placement guarantee?
No formal guarantee, but HARAHARA hires directly from each graduating cohort, and we make introductions to partner agencies for graduates not selected internally.
What equipment do I need?
A modern smartphone with a good camera, plus a laptop capable of running editing software (CapCut/Premiere/DaVinci). The HCA studio in Odaiba is available for advanced shoots.
How does subsidy support work?
For corporate enrollments, see the Subsidy page. Individual learners are not eligible for these particular subsidies but may qualify for other programs depending on their situation.
Can companies enroll their entire team?
Yes. We run private cohorts for companies of 5+ enrollees, with curriculum tailored to your industry and a dedicated instructor.
Where is HCA located?
THE SOHO, Odaiba, Tokyo — same office as HARAHARA Inc.
