The Japanese Language Proficiency Test started in 1984. This test determines and certifies the Japanese language proficiency of non-native speakers of Japanese.

Therefore, in 2010, the contents of the new “Japanese Language Proficiency Test” changed significantly. The new test tests not only knowledge, but also practical Japanese language proficiency.
