This exam is the only official test that certifies Japanese language teaching ability including test prep. (In Japan, the only other official options are obtaining a degree or completing a 420-hour course.). The average pass rate is only 25%. It covers all the knowledge required to pass the JLPT as well. Passing this exam demonstrates that I have the ability to teach certification-level courses. My students have produced outstanding results, with some passing N1 with near-perfect scores.

To pass this exam, candidates must take a high-level test on secretarial work, business etiquette, and an advanced English test. Passing is extremely difficult.
Japan Secretaries & Administrative Professionals Association is the only association in Japan that represents a wide range of companies, from major corporations to startups, focusing on secretaries and business professionals. It was established in 1968 with the approval of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
