Our recommended process, however, is as follows:

STEP

01

Purchase and complete the No. 19 Application form

Before applying for the exam, we recommend purchasing Form No. 19, which is the request form for the academic exam. This package includes everything you need to complete the form, including an instruction manual, since it requires specific formatting. If you're unsure about your completed form, contact JCAB by phone. When we did this, they provided an email address for form review via email. After completing the form, send it to either the Osaka or Tokyo JCAB office.
