Running a nursing associate education programme
After 26 July 2019, new students can only start their training on a nursing associate programme that we've approved.
We'll use our quality assurance framework to approve nursing associate programmes. Find out more about how we approve education programmes.
Nursing associate apprenticeships
The nursing associate apprenticeship standard is available to employers and the apprenticeship levy can be used for training fees. The standard requires nursing associate apprenticeships to be delivered by an NMC-approved AEI for pre-registration nursing.
Guidance on the registration process
Once their students have achieved their nursing associate qualifications and the exam boards have met, education institutions need to upload data and complete declarations about their students.
Find out more about uploading nursing associate student data.
We've also published guidance on what’s required from education providers throughout the registration process for the first nursing associate students.
