What It Is

GLOBIS学び放題 is an online video learning service for business professionals offered by Japan’s GLOBIS, centered on “learning business through videos.” The page states that it offers more than 17,800 videos across 16 business categories, and also integrates content from “知見録,” including interviews, discussions, and news-style materials. The service is available for individuals and also offers corporate talent-development solutions.

Core Content and Format

In terms of course structure, it is closer to a comprehensive online learning library for business and management. Topics include business strategy, accounting and finance, marketing, organizational management, leadership, thinking and communication, analytics, AI・Tech, business development, and certification exam preparation. Courses are organized into levels such as beginner, intermediate, applied, and practical knowledge. There are also short lessons under 10 minutes and learning paths, making it suitable for fragmented learning. The page also mentions comprehension quizzes, issuance of completion certificates, and video supervision by instructors from its graduate school of management, reflecting a certain level of course quality control.

Pricing and Payment

The platform offers a 7-day free trial. After the free period, pricing starts from 1,700 yen per month including tax, but this is the monthly equivalent of the annual plan. The page also mentions annual and six-month plans, though it does not display the full total prices. If automatic renewal is stopped by 23:59 two days before the free trial ends, no charges will be incurred. Personal payment methods include credit cards such as JCB, VISA, Mastercard, Amex, and Diners, as well as debit cards and prepaid cards.

Pros and Cons

The advantages are its broad content coverage, with comprehensive business fundamentals and advanced management topics, as well as a relatively large number of AI-related courses. Short videos, mobile apps, learning paths, and quizzes all support continuous learning. GLOBIS’s background in business schools, corporate training, and publishing also strengthens the credibility of its courses. Limitations include: the text information is mainly in Japanese, with no Chinese support apparent; a large amount of content is limited to members; the so-called completion certificate does not state whether it has any external accreditation value; and the total prices for the six-month/annual plans and corporate version are not fully disclosed.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is suitable for working professionals, managers, newly appointed managers, corporate training managers, and anyone looking to build MBA fundamentals, AI business application knowledge, and leadership skills, provided they can read Japanese and follow courses in Japanese. For users in China, the page does not specify mainland access, app availability, or cross-border payment experience, so its accessibility from China can only be considered unknown.
