JFT (Japan Foundation Test for Basic Japanese)

The Japan Foundation Test for Basic Japanese (JFT-Basic) is a language proficiency test designed to assess the basic communicative skills of non-native Japanese speakers. It is especially important for individuals applying for the Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) visa to work in Japan. The JFT evaluates the ability to use everyday Japanese in real-life situations, such as at the workplace, in daily life, and while interacting with others. Unlike JLPT, which is held only a few times a year, JFT-Basic is conducted more frequently, offering flexibility for test-takers. The exam focuses on four key areas: script and vocabulary, conversation and expression, listening, and reading, all aligned with the A2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Passing the JFT is a key requirement for SSW applicants who need to demonstrate basic Japanese proficiency before entering Japan.
