To give a clear and practical guide for aspiring learners and future workers in Japan, this roadmap outlines the essential steps to learning Japanese and qualifying for job opportunities. Whether starting from zero or aiming for a professional-level career, understanding the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) levels is the first step toward success!

Each level builds the skills needed for real-world opportunities. For those targeting the Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) visa, reaching at least N4 is a key milestone—opening doors to employment across various industries in Japan.

SSW Visa journey simplified:

  1. Learn Nihongo and build your foundation with BMG
  2. Take the JLPT N4 or JFT-Basic exam
  3. Pass the Prometric Exam 
  4. Complete documentation and other requirements
  5. Prepare for Deployment and Orientation

At BMG, our focus is to equip our students with the language skills that meet international standards—helping them move closer to their goal of working in Japan!
