The Japan Kanji Aptitude Testing Foundation offers the BJT, Business Japanese Proficiency Test. It is offered twice a year, focuses on "communication skills in Japanese" and is designed much like the TOEIC or TOEFL test. The great thing about this test is it focuses on measuring one's ability to understand and communicate in Japanese based on realistic business situations, not just your knowledge of grammar or vocabulary. And, BJT scores are now being accepted in Japan visa eligibility assessment.
