The Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) in Adelaide

What is the JLPT?

The Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) is an internationally recognised evaluation and certification of Japanese-language proficiency. In 2018, over 1 million people took the test in 86 countries and areas worldwide. It is the largest Japanese language test in the world.

In Japan, the JLPT is taken into consideration for preferential immigration treatment as well as an eligibility for various national exams. Outside Japan, the JLPT is widely recognised across corporate and government sectors as a benchmark for proficiency measurement. It is also a strong motivator for students of Japanese language and allows learners to accurately gauge the level of their ability. 

Cost

• N1, N2 and N3 ⇒ $95 Test fee + $6.90 Eventbrite booking fee.

Important dates

The registration period for the test is from Wednesday, 28th August 2024, to Monday, 9th September 2024. However, registration will close once all places are booked; applicants Australia-wide will be able to register for any test venue. The total number of registrations is capped in Adelaide. Therefore, Adelaide resident applicants should not hesitate to register on the opening day; otherwise, they are likely to miss out (based on our 2023 experience).

Registration must be completed online. Strictly no late registrations will be accepted. So please advise students to set a reminder on their mobile phone today for Wednesday, 28th August.

The test is scheduled to take place on the Sunday 1st December 2024.
