JLPT (Japanese-Language Proficiency Test) is the standard Japanese certification, running from N5 (beginner) up to N1 (advanced). It tests vocabulary, grammar, reading and listening — but not speaking — and is held on fixed dates worldwide.
N3 is the usual benchmark for bilingual IT roles, with N2 preferred; N4 often suffices for Specified Skilled Worker routes. The N3 listening section is a known wall — native-speed audio against a still-growing vocabulary — so we train listening hard, not just kanji.
N5–N1. N3 for entry IT roles, N2 for mid-career, N4 for many SSW pathways.
We'll be straight with you about the level and timeline your goal actually needs — then get you there.
