I was Registered Management Consultant(RMC). In Japanese, the RMC is called Small and Medium Enterprise Management Consultant(SMEC).

A major way to obtain SMEC qualification is to pass the examination and practice test held by J-SMECA (Japan Small and Medium Enterprise Consultants Association), nominated by the minister of METI(Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry).

Details of SMEC examinations are divided in 3 stages, the first examination, the 2nd examination and the practice test.
