The Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) is a test for non-native speakers of Japanese, which evaluates and certifies their Japanese-language proficiency. The test is simultaneously conducted twice a year in Japan and various locations overseas. The JLPT began in 1984, and currently, it is the largest Japanese-language test in the world. The JLPT is open to all non-native Japanese speakers. There are no age restrictions for the JLPT.
Certification offers various advantages. In Japan, the JLPT s taken into consideration for preferential immigration treatment as well as an eligibility for various national exams. Outside Japan, it is widely used as school credits, graduation certification, job screening and promotion, as well as for a variety of national qualifications.
