CBT Solutions Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Koji Noguchi), which operates the nation's largest qualification and certification information site, "Japan Qualifications & Certifications," has announced the TOP 10 for the "User-Voted Best Qualifications & Certifications" category of the 2025 edition of the "Japan Qualifications & Certifications Awards."

This survey selected from approximately 1,300 qualifications and certifications listed on our site, and ranks the most supported qualifications and certifications based on the results of the user survey conducted in fiscal year 2025, titled "Qualifications & Certifications Useful for Employment," "Qualifications & Certifications to Obtain for Hobbies," and "Qualifications & Certifications I'm Glad I Obtained."

Highlights of the "User-Voted Best Qualifications & Certifications" Category

Amidst rising prices, anxiety about the future, and diversification of work and living styles, "life design skills" are being called for to navigate the times ahead proactively.

The results suggest that qualifications and certifications are gaining support not only for employment and career changes but also as "practical learning" for considering one's own and family's future, including asset building, housing, and career development.

1st Place: "Financial Planner (including Financial Planning Skills Test, CFP®, and AFP certifications)"

In response to rising prices and future anxieties, the need to systematically learn about money management, asset building, insurance, pensions, inheritance, and other life-related financial knowledge led to this support.

2nd Place: "Real Estate Transaction Agent (Takken-shi)"

This qualification garnered support not only as a specialized qualification in the real estate industry but also for its recognition across a wide range of industries including finance, construction, and insurance, as well as its high practicality that can be applied to choosing one's own residence and asset building.

3rd Place: "TOEIC® Listening & Reading Test"

Even with the increasing use of generative AI and translation tools, the fundamental ability to read information in English and understand the other party's intentions serves as a business strength and provides an advantage in high school and university entrance exams, thus maintaining its stable popularity.

Comments from each qualification provider and rankings from 4th place onwards can be found in the article.
