sswapps.net is the official site for the “Specified Skilled Worker Exam Preparation App Series.” Rather than a traditional online course platform, it is positioned as a mobile self-study tool for Japan’s Specified Skilled Worker exams. It currently focuses on Food and Beverage Manufacturing No. 1/No. 2 and Food Service No. 2, while the Construction No. 2 app is shown as coming soon. Its core goal is to help foreign test-takers with limited Japanese proficiency understand exam texts and become familiar with the official exam format through practice tests.
In terms of subject coverage, it is tightly focused on Japan’s Specified Skilled Worker exams. The learning format is mainly app-based self-study, including text reading, terminology explanations, quick translation, and mock tests. The website does not mention live classes, recorded courses, or 1-on-1 tutoring. Language support is a highlight: different apps support multiple languages, including Chinese, English, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai, and Burmese. Users can double-tap Japanese text to view a translation, or tap difficult terms to get explanations in easy Japanese and their native language. The mock tests match the real exam in question type, number of questions, scoring, and time limit, making them suitable for pre-exam practice.
Basic features are free, and terminology explanations in easy Japanese are also free. The multilingual dictionary costs 1000 yen, quick translation costs 1500 yen, and the bundle of both costs 2000 yen. Each test set costs 500 yen and can be attempted up to 3 times after purchase; different apps offer around 5 to 8 sets. The pricing structure is clear, but the total cost can add up if users purchase multiple test sets and language tools. The website does not state that it provides course completion certificates, nor does it claim official certification.
Its strengths are a very clearly defined use case and features designed around the pain points of the Specified Skilled Worker exams. Multilingual support is practical for foreign test-takers, and the simulated tests can help users become more comfortable with the exam environment. The drawbacks are that the publicly available information lacks details on instructors, institutional background, content supervision, and learning outcome data. There is also no stated systematic learning path or human Q&A support. Construction No. 2 has not yet launched, so coverage is still being expanded.
It is suitable for candidates preparing for Japan’s Specified Skilled Worker exams who need native-language support to understand Japanese study materials. It is especially useful for people who already have basic textbooks and want to look up terms and practice questions on a phone. The website does not specify availability for access from mainland China, app store downloads, or payments, so these remain unknown; payment methods are also not disclosed. Alternatives include official Specified Skilled Worker exam materials, official sample questions, industry association resources, and offline training institutions.
