The Nursing Council of Kenya is the accreditation authority responsible for accrediting programmes of study for the nursing and midwifery professions. To date, the Council has approved 121 nursing/midwifery training institutions to train students at degree, basic and post basic diploma level for various branches of nursing & midwifery practice.
It is imperative that students make sure that the institution where they will be trained is approved by the Council AND that the training programme (course) is also accredited by the Council.
If either is NOT APPROVED, the Nursing Council of Kenya will not recognize any of the training the student has received. This means that the learner will not be able to practice in Kenya (or elsewhere) after completing the training. The education and training regulations (available on this website) give minimum entry requirements for each nursing/midwifery training programmes.
It is a requirement that all training institutions undergo the accreditation process. Accreditation is a review process that evaluates nursing training programs. It is based on best practices and established quality standards. It ensures that nursing and midwifery programs meet or exceed a variety of standards. This process is necessary to ensure students receive the quality education for their professional field.
The Nursing Council of Kenya handles complaints or reports received about illegal institutions and/or illegal programmes operating in Kenya. Under the Nurses Act it is a criminal offence for someone to operate such an institution or to offer such a programme.
If you are aware of any institution that you think may be operating illegally or providing an illegal programme, Please share the information with us via our email, info@nckenya.org
LICENSURE EXAMINATION
The Council is responsible for ensuring that all nurses and midwives within its jurisdiction meet an acceptable level of competence before they begin to practice.
The licensure examination is administered through regional examination centers. It consists of 4 individual papers for basic cadres and 3 papers for other cadres. Each paper examines specific competencies expected of nurses & midwives practicing within that capacity and is administered over the course of three hours.

The papers comprise multiple-choice questions, short answer questions and long answer questions where the candidate is expected to respond to brief health-care scenarios.
We determine applicants’ eligibility to write the exam by evaluating their conduct, academic and practical progress at the training school.
Candidates are allowed a maximum of 4 resits and must satisfy the Board of Examiners for each of the papers before they are eligible to apply for enrollment/registration and licensing.
