What is ディレクターズコネクト 生成AI研修?
ディレクターズコネクト 生成AI研修 (Directors Connect Generative AI Training) is corporate generative AI training from Directors Connect Co., Ltd. in Toyonaka, Osaka, designed by combining 11 themes after hearing about participants' roles and how they currently use AI. Themes can be chosen one by one, from introductory basics and prompting to practical work such as documents, proposals and sales preparation, business process redesign, and content for IT departments. The company delivers in person and online across Japan.
Separately, it offers "AI Secretary and AI Agent Training" by audience: executives, AI champions, and all employees. Pricing is quote-based, but guide prices are published: in-house training starts at JPY 200,000 for a half day and JPY 300,000 for a full day (excl. tax) (as of November 2026).
The company is not a large training-only firm. Its representative director, Oka (岡典輝), handles consultation, planning, and instructor selection, and partner instructors he has interviewed (50+ as of October 2026) teach the sessions. Besides corporate training planning and instructor dispatch, it also supports generative AI, RPA, and AI-OCR adoption projects and offers monthly advisory services.
Training overview
Training program
The generative AI training is divided into 11 themes by stage. According to the official site, every theme follows the order "first try it with your own hands, then use it for just one task in your own work," and includes exercises on participants' own duties.

01Introduction | Building a common foundation
For employees just starting out. Designed on the assumption that no one in the company is an AI expert.
- Generative AI basics and how to use it — what it is good and bad at, how to check the reliability of answers, how to handle information in the company
- How to write prompts — conveying context, purpose, and output format; breaking requests into steps; building instruction templates for your own work
02Practice | Getting results in daily work
Can be chosen theme by theme, using each role's work as material.
- Information gathering and research — collecting information with traceable sources and checklists for spotting errors
- Document creation — having AI draft first versions, matching your company's wording and format, minutes and reports
- Proposal writing — brainstorming to articulate the client's issues, comparing outlines, anticipating questions
- New sales and meeting preparation — researching prospects, first-meeting openers, categorizing reasons for rejection, role-play partner
- Document design and diagrams — choosing diagram types from the structure you want to convey, setting internal rules for using image generation at work
- Business efficiency — from inventorying department work to choosing one task to hand over and turning it into a procedure
03Transformation | Rethinking how work and organizations operate
For business reform and DX leads, executives, and business heads.
- Business process reform with AI — visualizing workflows, handling upstream/downstream steps, approvals and forms, involving front-line staff
- Work design that assumes AI — dividing work between people and AI, effects on roles, evaluation and structure, how to manage the transition
04Technology | For IT and technical departments
For organizations where operations depend on specific individuals. Includes ways to involve non-engineers.
- Managing operations as code with generative AI (Ops as Code) — keeping operations as code instead of manuals, with change history and reviews built in
AI Secretary and AI Agent Training
There are three trainings for using AI agents at work, by audience. Pricing for all is quoted individually.
| Training | Audience | Time / size | Content |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI Secretary and AI Agent Management Practice Training for Executives | Executives, officers, senior managers | 5 hours (incl. 20-minute break); 10–15 people standard | Have AI read fictional financial, sales, and HR data, check it against the evidence, build a workflow with human approval, and make a 30-day plan to try at your company (hands-on PC work) |
| AI Implementation Leader Training (short implementation version) | Management (stage 1); front-line leader candidates (stages 2 and 3) | Stage 1: half day (3 hours); stage 2: 3 hours × 4 sessions (4–6 weeks, 6–10 people standard); stage 3: 8–12 weeks (optional) | Choose one target task and go from policy-making to prototyping, operation, impact measurement, and internal rollout. A long-term version (5 sessions over 5–6 months) is also available |
| Safe AI Use Training | General employees, DX staff | 3 hours for general employees; 6 hours + 30 days of consultation for DX staff; about 20–30 people | Separating data that may and may not be entered, checking output, preparing for hallucinations and prompt injection, turning it into internal rules |
For the executive course, the AI services and accounts used are decided before the session after confirming which ones each participating company permits. The site states that there are no exercises in which AI executes approvals or sending unattended.
Pricing
The guide prices on the official pricing page are as follows (all excl. tax, as of November 2026). All are minimum guide prices; the formal amount is quoted after a hearing.
Source: Directors Connect Co., Ltd. official website (Pricing guide)
| Type | Guide price (excl. tax) | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| In-house training (designed around your issues) | From JPY 200,000 per half day / JPY 300,000 per day | Prior hearing, exercise design, post-session review |
| Open seminar (adjusted for the host) | From JPY 80,000 per half day / JPY 100,000 per day | Adjusting themes, examples, and flow to seminars hosted by financial institutions, chambers of commerce, etc. |
| Fully designed training / series | About JPY 500,000–1,000,000 | Themes tied directly to management issues, multi-session programs, or leading instructors |
| Training design / program building | From JPY 100,000 | Hearing on issues, setting goals, designing the program |
| Developing in-house instructors | From JPY 500,000 | Ongoing support covering how to create materials, how to teach, and a structure for updating them |
| Advisory service | Light plan from JPY 3,000/month / Consultation desk plan from JPY 30,000/month / Execution support plan from JPY 150,000/month | Ongoing consultation so training does not end as a one-off |
The pricing page lists the factors that change the amount: theme and instructor, degree of customization, how far the representative is involved (planning, reviewing materials, attending on the day, review), number of meetings, number of participants and sessions, and format. Once four items are decided—purpose, audience and headcount, timing, and format—it says it can give a rough estimate on the spot.
How to use subsidies
The official FAQ says that, for DX and AI training, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's Human Resources Development Support Subsidy "Investment in People Promotion Course" or "Business Development Reskilling Support Course" may apply. It also states clearly that the company is a training provider and does not provide subsidy application support, and asks clients to check details with their local labor bureau. If you have no social insurance and labor consultant to consult, it can help find one, and it will supply documents needed for the application, such as the curriculum and instructor profiles, in time. Because the vocational training implementation plan must be submitted before the training, it asks clients who plan to use subsidies to say so before setting dates. The official site also has a calculator that estimates the Business Development Reskilling Support Course subsidy from the per-person fee, headcount, and training hours, and the company says its quotes include the amount payable if the subsidy is not granted.
Under the August 3, 2026 revision, literacy-focused training such as general prompt writing is no longer eligible for the Business Development Reskilling Support Course. Eligibility depends on the training content and participants' duties, so check with your local labor bureau before submitting the plan.
The introductory "Generative AI basics" and "How to write prompts" are literacy content for all employees. If you plan around subsidies, confirm at the consultation stage whether the training can be built from content tied to participants' duties, such as the practice and transformation themes.
For small and medium businesses in Toyonaka, Osaka, there is a page calculating the cost when using the city's "AI Seminar Tuition Subsidy" (two-thirds subsidy rate, up to JPY 100,000 cumulative per business, for sessions held from February 1, 2026 and ending by March 31, 2027). This subsidy covers only seminars that recruit participants widely from the public. The company says it designs its public seminars to meet this condition and issues certificates of attendance, invoices, and receipts. The same page advises checking with Toyonaka City's Industrial Promotion Division before applying.
Track record and reputation
According to the company profile, SMBC Consulting Co., Ltd. is the client that agreed to have its name published. It also supports major manufacturers, major retailers, automotive manufacturers, semiconductor companies, construction firms, financial institutions, medical corporations, and real estate companies, and says it does not publish names because of confidentiality agreements with many clients.
The case studies page lists seven cases in seven industries, without company names. In the generative AI case, at a community-based small construction company unfamiliar with IT, hands-on training using familiar AI tools such as ChatGPT was held in sessions of up to 2 hours, once a month, four times, and one young employee was developed as an internal DX lead (published March 23, 2026; last updated July 2, 2026). It says employees began using AI for daily and other reports. The case of customer seminars for a bank-affiliated think tank states an average seminar satisfaction rate of over 95%.
The "Customer Voices" page lists comments from 13 companies without names (noting that some wording was adjusted while keeping the original meaning). Comments mention that the representative listens to management issues before choosing instructors, and that veteran employees who had resisted AI started using ChatGPT on their own after training.
Who it suits and who it doesn't
It suits companies that want content built around their own problems rather than a common course for all employees. The company starts with a hearing before themes are decided, and the representative is involved from planning to review. Because the 11 themes can be combined by role, it also fits companies that want different content for sales, planning, and administrative departments. Guide prices are published per half day, so even small groups can estimate the budget. Small businesses in Osaka's Hokusetsu area may be able to use Toyonaka City's subsidy.
It does not suit companies that want many employees to learn at once through videos. E-learning and flat-rate per-ID plans are not listed on the official site. If you want the training company to handle subsidy applications, note that it does not provide application support, so you need to proceed in-house or with a social insurance and labor consultant. The site also states that it does not handle secretariat work such as booking venues, reception, or managing participant lists.

| アドカル 生成AI研修 | One company (custom, online / in person) | JPY 400,000 per person (excl. tax), minimum 10 | Up to 75% with subsidies (no course name) |
