Seek approval if you're an AEI
How to get approval to deliver a new education programme if you've been granted approved education institution (AEI) status
How would you rate your experience today? Please fill out our short survey to help us improve the NMC Education webpages.
The following information is from our QA framework which came into effect on 1 September 2018.
We also publish a QA handbook with our external QA delivery partner, Mott MacDonald, which sets out the detail of our processes and the evidence that you (and your practice learning partners) will need to provide to demonstrate that you meet our standards.
Any subsequent programmes proposals you make to us will pass straight to gateway 3 of our approval process.
Submit your programme request
When you think your programme is ready for approval, you should submit a request on the QA Link.
Once you have submitted your request, and this has been approved by Mott MacDonald, you will be notified that Gateway 3 has opened and you can submit your evidence.
After your approval visit or desktop review, Mott MacDonald will write a report to let us know if they recommend that our standards have been met or not.
We’ll then conduct our internal QA checks and will inform you of this outcome in writing within 20 working days of receiving their report.
