This is a 1-year Japanese language course aimed at advancing to a Care Worker Program (2 years) at Trinity College, Izumo Medical Care and Welfare Professional Training College or Trinity College, Hiroshima Medical Care and Welfare Professional Training College.
Along with comprehensively learning the 4 skills of reading, writing, speaking, and listening in a balanced manner, students learn the Japanese language with particular focus on the conversation skill necessary in care giving workplaces.
Furthermore, to ensure students do not hesitate when advancing to the care worker program, they tour facilities for the elderly and people with disabilities and learn welfare terminology (including laws) as preparation, and also experience actual classes of the care worker program several times a year.
Along with learning the training for a first-year care worker, students aim for a level of passing the N2 Japanese-Language Proficiency Test, and after advancing to higher education, aim to acquire the national qualification for care workers and to find employment in Japan with the "care work" status of residence.

Difference Between the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) and Examination for
Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU)

The Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) is implemented in July and December each year to measure general Japanese language proficiency.
To people advancing to a professional college, university, or graduate school, people who want to work in Japan, and people who want to work using Japanese in their home countries, the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test is the perfect test "for proving one's Japanese language ability."
On the other hand, the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) is implemented twice a year, in June and November, to measure one's Japanese ability to handle studying at a university or the like in Japan.
95% of national universities and 65% of public universities require foreign students to take the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students in entrance tests for undergraduate programs.
Also, 44% of private universities require taking the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students.
As for the composition of test questions, the EJU has short-answer questions, but the JLPT does not.
Conversely, the JLPT has questions on linguistic knowledge (characters / vocabulary / grammar), but the EJU does not have questions that directly test linguistic knowledge.
Also, regarding the sections where the two tests have the same question format, namely, reading comprehension / listening comprehension and listening-reading comprehension (listening comprehension on the JLPT), each test has questions that match that test's respective goals.
