Getting the most out of your search

If you search only by country, you’ll receive a large number of results. You should also try searching by the course or approved education institution criteria.

Non-NMC approved courses

We've been made aware of a number of non NMC approved ‘nursing diploma’ courses being offered on various external websites. Please be aware that these courses do not contribute to a formal qualification from our approved education providers and will not lead to registration with us.

Fall back awards

Please note that any approved programmes that contain “fall back award” within the programme title, are not direct entry routes i.e. students cannot enrol onto these courses.
