All students entering the Internship programs do 6 or 8 weeks of intensive studies in the JBPP to help bring them up to speed for the work placement. Pre-arrival testing includes an online test of grammar, and an online listeing test. After arrival, your initial testing includes, a written test, a listening comprehension test and a one-on-one interview.

It is considered extremely important by Yamasa that we be able to help students determine whether the programs are suitable for them or not BEFORE they enroll, so that you have plenty of time to consider other program offerings at Yamasa, a different time schedule or another program provider. For this reason and because the most difficult problem facing faculty members is to work out the level of proficiency of each student as early as possible (so as to increase planning time), Yamasa's multimedia studio has developed a series of online placement tests. These tests are not the actual placement tests but act as an indicative survey.

To participate in the program, you will need to meet the Minimum Entry Requirements of the Japanese for Business and Professional Purposes Program.
