JLPT/NAT

Learning Japanese opens the door to education, career, and cultural opportunities in Japan. For Nepalese students planning to study, work, or live in Japan, two of the most recognised proficiency tests are the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) and the NAT-Test.

 

Both exams assess your ability to read, write, listen, and understand Japanese. But they differ in structure, purpose, and recognition. At our institute, we prepare you for both JLPT and NAT with a practical, skill-based approach that boosts your confidence and exam performance.

 

Why Take JLPT or NAT?

JLPT is internationally recognised and often required for university admission, scholarships, and professional licensing in Japan. It is held twice a year and has five levels (N5–N1), with N1 being the highest.

 

NAT-Test is widely accepted by Japanese language schools for student visa processing. It’s considered a good alternative or preparatory step for JLPT, with six levels (Q5–Q1) corresponding closely to JLPT levels. NAT is held six times a year, giving students more flexibility in scheduling.

 

If you plan to study or work in Japan, having a good score in either JLPT or NAT greatly improves your chances of acceptance and success.
