APPROVED TRAINING INSTITUTIONS

The Nursing Council of Kenya is responsible for approving programmes of study for the nursing and midwifery professions. To date, the Council has approved 145 nursing and midwifery training institutions to train students at degree, and basic & post basic diploma levels for various specialty areas of nursing and midwifery practice

 

The Council has provided Standards of Nursing Education in Kenya and the Education Policy to provide a framework of reference for the nursing and midwifery education programmes in the country in preparing safe and competent nurse and midwife practitioners who will function effectively not only as members but also as leaders in health care delivery system.

 

We perform  accreditation of programmes/courses. Any school, college or institution intending to offer nursing and/or midwifery education programme for the purpose of preparing individuals to be awarded certificate, diploma or degree in nursing and/or midwifery is required to seek approval from the Nursing Council of Kenya. The Council shall conduct monitoring of programme implementation and adherence to quality training to ensure that the institution continues to maintain the set standards of nursing and midwifery practice as stipulated in the Standards of Nursing Education and Practice in Kenya.

  • Initial approval: Official recognition granted for a new programme after the Council conducts a visit to the institution to ascertain its readiness to admit students.
  • Renewal: Done upon expiration of the initial approval (after 5 years). The Council shall conduct an evaluation visit to ensure that the institution continues to maintain the set standards.
