If you have some experience with Japanese Language or have taken classes outside of the JCCC, you can use these self-assessment tests to determine which level would be appropriate.
If a test is too challenging, try the test a level below. If it is too easy, try the test a level above.
See the class schedule and more detail information from here.
JCCC membership is required. The membership can be purchased on the same ticket if you are not already a member.
