The 2nd Japanese Language Proficiency Test will be conducted on 6th December this Year; the Gateway to Japan !  

The Embassy of Japan, with the cooperation of the Brunei Association of Japan Alumni (BAJA) and Japanese Language Teachers in Brunei , will conduct Japanese Language Proficiency Test in Brunei on Sunday 6th December, 2009 . The test is conducted annually both in Japan and outside Japan to evaluate and certify the Japanese language proficiency of non-native speakers. In 2008, almost 600,000 examinees challenged the Test around the world.

 Until year 2007, Bruneian applicants had to go to Sabah University , Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia to take this test. Last year the Embassy started the test to promote Japanese language study in Brunei Darussalam, providing easier access to the test for Bruneians. Now, Bruneian students can take this test in Brunei . 

 The JLPT has 4 levels ranged from Level 1 (as the most advanced level) to Level 4 (as the beginner’s one). Level 2 and 4 tests will commence from 9:30 am and Level 1 and 3 tests will start from 13:30 .  The venue will be the Chancellor Hall of UBD and details will be available on the website of the Embassy. 

 The application form which costs B$5 per copy is now available at the cultural section of the Embassy and the application fee of B$30 will be charged for each test level. Applications will be accepted from 1st August until 18th September.  

          The Embassy of Japan wishes that many Bruneians will take this opportunity to have the test and make it their gateway to Japan .
