U-CAN Co., Ltd. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President and Representative Director: Taiichi Shinagawa) announced the "Top Online Courses Ranking for the First Half of the Year" on July 3, 2026.

Among all approximately 140 correspondence courses, the "Practical Ballpoint Penmanship Course" took first place! Especially in the digital age, situations where handwriting influences impressions are increasing, and the ability to "write beautifully" is a definite added value. Continuing from last year, it garnered overwhelming support from a wide range of generations to secure the top spot. Furthermore, U-CAN's popular service, where instructors carefully correct your name and address and provide handwritten examples, is also a reason for its popularity due to its high practicality that can be immediately applied in daily life.

Ranking second is the "Real Estate Transaction Agent (Takken-shi) Course"! In addition to its stable popularity as a national qualification essential for real estate transactions, its specialized knowledge directly linked to practical work and high future potential have garnered significant support. U-CAN offers compact learning materials that thoroughly analyze exam trends, allowing for efficient study without waste. The entire process, from lectures and tests to scheduling, can be completed with just a smartphone. This efficiency, enabling even busy working adults to aim for qualification, is why it is chosen.

Following in third place is the "Administrative Scrivener Course." Its high practicality, covering everything from everyday procedures to corporate support, combined with its status as a national qualification that can lead to independent practice, makes it a popular choice for learning with an eye on future careers. U-CAN employs a hybrid learning approach that combines textbooks that beginners can easily understand with condensed video lectures on key points.
