Summary

The Business Proficiency Test Job Pass Level 3 Official Textbook is educational material that can be used as a guidepost for vocational and career education to learn the basics and fundamentals of business skills in Japan and what to expect when working in Japan.

This book uses furigana (Japanese syllabary) for all the kanji characters in the official textbook for the Job Pass Level 3 of the Business Proficiency Test 2021, so that international students who are not adept at kanji can learn about business customs and working styles in Japan alongside with Japanese students.

Each chapter also includes a quiz to confirm what you have learned. A larger version of the text is provided at the end of the book for figures and tables that are difficult to read in furigana.

Note: There are no furigana attached to the questions in the Business Proficiency Test Job Pass Level 3.
