Quality assurance of education

Education quality assurance (EdQA) is the process we follow to make sure that the education programmes for nurses, midwives and nursing associates meet the standards needed to prepare them to join our register. We quality assure education by approving programmes and monitoring those programmes.

Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) is our new education quality assurance (EdQA) service provider from 1 September 2024. Whilst we are transitioning our processes to them you may see further changes to these pages.
