JLPT & NAT-TEST PREPARATION
Focused N5 and N4 Classes, Done Properly
We prepare students for both the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) and the NAT-TEST, Japan's two recognised Japanese-language proficiency exams. Rather than spreading thin across every level, our classes focus on N5 and N4 -- the two levels every student needs to begin studying, working, or living in Japan -- so our teaching stays focused and our results stay strong.
- JLPT N5 & N4 exam-focused classes
- NAT-TEST N5 & N4 exam-focused classes
- Mock exams and past-paper practice
- Available as physical classes and self-paced online video courses

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between JLPT and NAT-TEST?
Both are official tests of Japanese-language proficiency accepted in Japan. JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) is the most widely recognised internationally, while NAT-TEST is held more frequently and is also accepted by language schools and employers. We prepare students for both, at N5 and N4 level.
Which JLPT and NAT-TEST levels do you teach?
We currently teach N5 and N4, the two entry levels most students need to begin studying or living in Japan. Both are available as physical classes and as self-paced online video courses.
Do you help with work visas or SSW?
No. We support the student visa pathway only. If you're looking to study in Japan, we help with school placement and preparation -- we don't handle Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) or other work-visa applications.
What is a "Grade A" language school?
Grade A schools are Japan's top-tier accredited language schools, recognised for strong visa approval rates and genuine teaching quality. We only support placement at Grade A schools, so your application starts on solid ground.
Do you offer discounts for A/Level students?
Yes. Students who have just completed their A/Levels get generous discounts on our courses -- contact us for the current offer.
Is Sakurai the cheapest option in Sri Lanka?
We price our JLPT/NAT-TEST classes and study-in-Japan support to be the lowest in Sri Lanka, while keeping the same quality of teaching and guidance. See our Courses page for current fees.
