What a ticket gives you

Features

01

The same price everywhere

Whichever institution you choose, the examination and the report cost the same. Payment is made in advance, so there is nothing to settle on the day.

02

Choose from partner institutions across Japan

Near home, near where you grew up, near work — you choose the institution after you buy, and you can change it while the ticket is valid.

03

Give one as a gift

You can give a ticket to a parent or a partner. The person who receives it books the examination when it suits them.
