Bangladesh Ansar and Village Defence Party (Ansar-VDP) has completed the selection of trainees for its N5-level Japanese language training program aimed at creating safe, institutional pathways for higher education and employment in Japan.

The simultaneous selection process was conducted across multiple training centers of the force on Wednesday  following the recent launch of Ansar-VDP’s own recruiting agency, "Prantik Shakti Limited," inaugurated by the Minister for Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment to eliminate middlemen and curb migration fraud.

The 90-day intensive language course is scheduled to run from November 15, 2026, to February 12, 2027, covering three distinct tracks.

Under the first track, male and female Ansar-VDP members selected for distance learning programs at Okayama University of Science (OUS) will undergo training at the Ansar-VDP Academy. Under the second track, candidates chosen for migration through Japanese language schools and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs will be trained at the Ansar-VDP Academy, Vocational Training Center (VTC) Kalakopa in Nawabganj, VTC Gazipur, and district training centers in Cumilla, Moulvibazar, Sirajganj, and Jashore. Under the third track, female members selected for the second phase of direct employment placement in Japan will receive training at the Thakurgaon and Feni centers.

According to Ansar-VDP headquarters, eligible candidates who completed online registration via the TRGMS module of the Ansar-VDP Management System (AVMIS) app by November 8 participated in the rigorous screening. A headquarters-appointed selection committee verified educational qualifications alongside physical fitness parameters including height, weight, eyesight, and medical screening followed by online written tests and viva voce examinations.
