About the JLPTThe Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) has been offered by the Japan Foundation and Japan Educational Exchanges and Services (formerly Association of International Education, Japan) since 1984 as a reliable means of evaluating and certifying the Japanese proficiency of non-native speakers. At the beginning, there were approximately 7,000 examinees worldwide. In 2018, there were over 1 million examinees around the globe, making JLPT the largest-scale Japanese-language test in the world.

Testimonials from former test-takers in AdelaideThe JLPT can help you to achieve your personal and professional goals. Read the testimonials from some Adelaide residents below. "Studying for the JLPT was an excellent way to push my Japanese proficiency to levels that I would not have achieved through general study. The test was an excellent motivator, providing both short-term and long-term goals, as well as regular verification that my Japanese had improved. The test fee is very reasonable and professionally administered, the test content is practical and modern, and after learning various grammar patterns and vocabulary I often found these in common use in newspapers or on the radio in Japan. After passing level 1 of the test, I had the required language skills to gain a Diploma of Interpreting. I plan to work in Japan in the future, and feel confident that I have the required language skills to do so after passing the test."
