SSW (i) generally requires both a field skills test and a Japanese-language test.
Key points
Many fields use JFT-Basic or JLPT N4 as the baseline. Nursing care has an additional care-Japanese test, while bus and taxi driving require a higher level, among other field-specific rules.
The provider, country, schedule, fee, and identity documents differ by field.
People who satisfactorily completed Technical Intern Training (ii) may receive exemptions when moving into a related job category. Moving to another field normally requires that field's skills test.
SSW (ii) may require work or supervisory experience in addition to the SSW (ii) skills test.

SSW ALL-IN is an independent, unofficial learning service. Final decisions and current requirements are governed by the Immigration Services Agency, responsible ministries, and official test providers.
