The Business Japanese Proficiency Test (BJT, formerly the JETRO Test) is designed to objectively measure and evaluate non-native speaker's skills in using the Japanese language for business. This test was developed by JETRO and has been offered in Japan and other countries since 1996. The BJT consists of one unified test covering all levels of Japanese and examinees receive a point score, similar to the TOEIC test for non-native English speakers.
The BJT is supported by Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, Agency for Cultural Affairs, and leading business and academic organizations such as the Japan Foundation, Nippon Keidanren, Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the National Institute for Japanese Language. The BJT is the first test of business Japanese proficiency to be recognized by the government of Japan and economic organizations.
This November the BJT will be offered in three cities in the United States: Atlanta, Honolulu and Salt Lake City.
