Exam preparation
JFT-Basic Preparation Course
JFT-Basic (the Japan Foundation Test for Basic Japanese) is the language test most Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) visa applicants need, and it targets a specific, practical A2-equivalent level rather than general fluency — preparation built for JLPT or general conversation is not the right fit. This six-week course is built specifically around the JFT-Basic format: its four sections (Language Knowledge, Reading, Listening, Conversation) and its computer-based test delivery, so the screen and timing are never a surprise on test day. Vocabulary and grammar practice is drawn specifically from daily-life and simple workplace situations, matching what the exam actually tests, and listening practice is built around the situations SSW applicants genuinely encounter. The course closes with a full-length timed mock test in the real JFT-Basic format and an honest, section-by-section review against the actual pass threshold.
