Career Path for Careworkers in Japan

The general career path for becoming a careworker in Japan is to proceed from first-time staff training to experienced staff training, followed by official certification as a careworker.

For the initial five years following your graduation from a careworker training facility, you will be awarded provisional certification as a Certified Careworker. If, during that time, you either pass the Certified Careworker examination or work for five continuous years as a careworker, you can continue to hold your qualification as a Certified Careworker. These provisions are transitional measures in effect until 2026.
