The Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) is an international assessment designed to measure the Japanese language proficiency of non-native speakers. In Vietnam, the JLPT is conducted twice a year (in July and December) across four cities: Hanoi (at Hanoi University and the University of Foreign Languages, Vietnam National University, Hanoi), Da Nang (at Da Nang University of Foreign Languages), Thua Thien Hue Province (at Hue University of Foreign Languages), and Ho Chi Minh City (at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City).
