New "Japanese Test Course" for Specified Skilled Worker 2nd Grade Exam Prep Added to e-Learning Service "NIMON" for Foreigners Working in Restaurants, Distribution Begins July 6

World In Worker Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President: Kenji Yabunouchi, hereinafter referred to as World In Worker), a group company of Cookbiz Co., Ltd. with strengths in introducing and supporting domestic Specified Skilled Workers, announced that on July 6, 2026 (Monday), they will begin distributing a new "Japanese Test Course" for the Specified Skilled Worker 2nd Grade exam on their e-learning system for the restaurant industry, "NIMON".

This curriculum was developed to solve the problem that many foreign nationals face when taking the Specified Skilled Worker 2nd Grade exam: "I can't understand the Japanese in the problem statements." By acquiring the ability to correctly read the Japanese expressions used in exam questions and the intent behind the questions, it supports users in reducing points lost due to Japanese language difficulties and demonstrating their true abilities.

Background

World In Worker released the e-learning service "NIMON" for the restaurant industry on January 27, 2026. During the service's operation, a pressing issue emerged from foreign nationals aiming for Specified Skilled Worker 2nd Grade certification: "I have practical knowledge, but the Japanese in the exam questions is too complex and I misunderstand the intent," and "I lose points because I can't understand the meaning of the questions."

To pass the Specified Skilled Worker 2nd Grade exam, not only specialized knowledge of the restaurant industry but also "vocabulary" and "reading comprehension" in Japanese are essential to correctly interpret the questions.

However, training managers in the field also expressed confusion, saying, "I don't know how to teach Japanese exam preparation."

Therefore, World In Worker has newly established the "Japanese Test Course," which carefully explains the meaning of words and the background of the questions, so that foreign nationals can correctly understand the intent of the problems and fully demonstrate their true abilities.
