The Nursing Council of Kenya (NCK) is the accreditation authority responsible for accrediting programmes of study for the nursing and midwifery professions.
It is imperative that students make sure that the institution where they will be trained is approved by the Council AND that the training programme (course) is also accredited by the Council.
If either is NOT APPROVED, the Nursing Council of Kenya will not recognize any of the training the student has received. This means that the learner will not be able to practice in Kenya (or elsewhere) after completing the training.
