Developed by a CEO with 20 years in construction for his own foreign workers

I have run a construction company with foreign workers for 20 years. They are diligent and skilled, but by law, they had to return home after 5 years. That always frustrated me.

Struggling with foreign worker training?

  • Sites are busy, and there's no time to teach for the exam

  • If they fail, the worker you trained goes home

  • The materials are all in Japanese, so they can't read them and stop

Individual report for each worker

When the company creates two weeks to study, workers can pass.

With frequent business trips to distant sites, it was hard to study with focus. Because the company created an environment where I could study during working hours for the two weeks before the exam, I was able to concentrate fully on learning.

Voices of workers who passed

  • It suits me to understand the meaning in Vietnamese first and then solve it in Japanese. I like that I can continue even just for 30 minutes during my commute.
    Nguyen T.(Vietnam / Civil Engineering)
  • I do it bit by bit during lunch breaks. It is fun when the combos continue, and I naturally find myself doing one more question.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pass?

Results vary. We do not guarantee pass/fail. We focus on "score-oriented learning" with practice questions and weakness analysis.

What does the name UKARU mean?

UKARU comes from the Japanese word "ukaru" (受かる), meaning "to pass an exam." We chose this name because we want every foreign worker in Japan to pass their exam and build a secure future with their family.

How long to prepare?

It depends on study time and current level. The app is designed for short, regular sessions.

Is it OK if my Japanese is weak?

Yes. We use simple language and add term notes where needed.

Can companies adopt in bulk?

Yes. We offer a team plan. We'll tailor it to your headcount and usage—just ask.

Is my data safe?

We handle only what's needed for learning and manage it properly. See our privacy policy for details.
