I want to be a CIR but I am unsure about my Japanese language ability. What is a good measure?
Applicants for the CIR position must demonstrate an excellent grasp of written and spoken Japanese. CIR applicants have typically studied Japanese for a minimum of two years at the university level. CIRs are tested in Japanese at the interview. Most CIRs have a minimum of Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 2 Certification, with many CIRs holding Level 1, but this certification is not necessary to be a successful candidate.
