Japanese Language Courses in Nepal: NAT, JCERT, JLPT & JFT Explained
Japan has multiple Japanese-language proficiency exams, each tied to a different visa or work pathway. Choosing the right one — before you start studying — saves months of wasted preparation.
NAT (Nepal Japanese Language Proficiency Test)
Administered in Nepal for candidates applying through Japan's Technical Intern Training and SSW (Specified Skilled Worker) pathways.
- NAT-N5: basic beginner level
- NAT-N4: elementary level, required for several skilled-worker and internship categories
JCERT (Japan Certification for Skilled Workers)
Another certification route recognized for SSW and related worker programs, run alongside NAT as an alternative certification path.
- JCERT-N5 and JCERT-N4 levels, similarly structured to NAT
JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test)
The most internationally recognized Japanese exam, accepted for university admission, employment, and general proficiency proof.
- JLPT N5: basic level — greetings, simple sentences, everyday vocabulary
- JLPT N4: elementary level — simple conversations and basic reading passages
JFT-Basic (Japan Foundation Test for Basic Japanese)
Specifically designed for the SSW (Specified Skilled Worker) visa category, testing practical, everyday Japanese needed for working in Japan.
