Care work Japanese for the SSW care visa

For the Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) visa in nursing care (kaigo), besides JFT-Basic A2 or JLPT N4 and the care skills test, there is a care Japanese test: 15 questions in 30 minutes on care words, talking with residents and care documents. It passes at 73%.

The Kaigo path in Sinau builds on N5, N4 and JFT-Basic: 10 units, 188 words, 80 kanji, with daily cards, practice in the test's three sections and a 15-question, 30-minute mock. Words with no example sentence by a person get an AI-written one, checked by a second model and labelled.

Sinau is not affiliated with the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare; mock results are estimates.
