Human Academy Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Tomonobu Tanaka; hereinafter "the Company"), an education business, will begin general sales of its "Sukima Gokaku Drill" tool for National Career Consultant examination preparation from May 2026.

**Key Points:**
* Industry's first "approx. 30-second instant grading" by AI dramatically improves learning efficiency.
* Working generations can study efficiently during their busy "spare time."
* The proven results of the Subject Version (pass rate improved from 78.1% to 80.2%, over 90% satisfaction) are now extended to the Essay Version.

**Development Background:**
In recent years, with the increasing importance of reskilling and career autonomy, the number of registered National Career Consultants has exceeded 80,000, and the annual number of examinees has reached approximately 18,000, showing an upward trend. The majority of examinees are busy individuals in their 40s to 50s with work and family commitments, for whom "securing study time" is the biggest hurdle.
Our student surveys also highlighted challenges, particularly in essay exam preparation, such as long waiting times for grading leading to missed review opportunities, difficulty understanding correct answers, and an overwhelming lack of practice questions (only 3 past official questions available). The Company has integrated vast data accumulated over 10 years of course operation with AI. The "Subject Version," introduced prior to essay preparation, achieved significant results in improving pass rates through AI-driven weakness analysis and repetitive learning. Based on these achievements, the "Essay Version" has been added, creating a platform that transforms "minute-by-minute" intervals during commuting or household chores into valuable study time, enabling instant feedback. As improving the quality of career supporters is urgent, this system facilitates efficient knowledge retention.

**Service Features:**
"Sukima Gokaku Drill" conducts AI-based question creation and evaluation (Subject: weakness judgment, Essay: answer evaluation and feedback) based on the trends of the National Career Consultant examination, the Company's texts, and course information. It is an efficient learning tool for the core demographic of examinees, working professionals in their 40s-50s, to study during their busy "spare time."
