GLOBIS Integrates Japanese and English Learning Platforms

GLOBIS has recently made a significant move in the educational technology sector by merging its two subscription-based video learning services, "GLOBIS 学び放題 (Japanese)" and "GLOBIS Unlimited (English)". Beginning on October 28, 2025, users will be able to access both languages through a single application and website, showcasing a commitment to catering to the needs of global talents seeking seamless learning experiences.

Unified Learning Experience

The integration of these services means that users who are currently subscribed to either service will no longer need separate contracts. Upon the integration date, subscribers will enjoy access to both Japanese and English content at no additional cost. This change not only enhances the overall convenience but also effectively lowers the cost of learning, ensuring a broader reach among those aiming for global proficiency.

GLOBIS aims to transcend language barriers and provide a seamless learning environment that aligns with the evolving demands of companies that are nurturing global professionals as well as individuals aspiring to excel internationally.

Background Information

"GLOBIS 学び放題 (Japanese)" was launched in 2016 and has since gained traction among Japanese business professionals, boasting a user base of approximately 1.3 million. On the other hand, "GLOBIS Unlimited (English)" caters to over 50 countries worldwide, primarily serving English-speaking business professionals. With the accelerating overseas expansion of Japanese companies, the need for cultivating global talents has been surging. It is essential to establish a consistent learning environment across linguistic and geographical boundaries to facilitate effective talent development, illustrating the rationale behind GLOBIS's decision to unify both services.

Details of the Service Integration

This integration will occur on October 28, 2025, at 4 PM JST. On this date, all users currently subscribed to either service will gain access to both content offerings without requiring additional payment. This applies to both the app and web versions of the services. For new subscriptions after the integration date, users will have the option to choose either "GLOBIS 学び放題 (Japanese)" or "GLOBIS Unlimited (English)" based on their primary language preference; regardless of their selection, they will have access to the other's content.
