In Japan, where an increasingly aging society poses new challenges, the demand for caregiving services is set to rise significantly. The caregiving industry faces a chronic shortage of personnel, resulting in a high number of job openings that are likely to persist. Care workers with qualifications as certified caregivers are in high demand, making their credentials exceptionally valuable. In response to this landscape, an application has been developed to support foreigners seeking to work as caregivers in Japan.

Who developed this application? The Okayama Foreign Language Institute, with over 30 years of experience in Japanese language education, collaborated with caregiving professionals to create relevant content. Additionally, the development was supported by a Japanese IT systems company known for its pool of skilled foreign IT engineers.

Who is the target audience for this application? The application is designed for individuals aspiring to become certified caregivers through training programs, as well as those currently working in caregiving roles with specific skill visas. It serves as a valuable tool for preparing for the national certification examination for caregivers.

What advantages come with becoming a certified caregiver? Certified caregivers may have the opportunity to earn higher salaries compared to trainees and those on specific skill visas. Moreover, obtaining a caregiving visa allows for the possibility of bringing a spouse to live in Japan, facilitating a more stable lifestyle.

Key features of the application include:

• A ranking system that provides users with a sense of enjoyment and achievement.
• The ability to challenge oneself by year or by specific topics within caregiving.
• A comprehensive collection of national examination questions from the past decade.
• An interface that allows users to study easily in their native languages.
