List of institutions flagged for offering illegal nursing courses

The Nursing Council of Kenya (NCK) has flagged four institutions for offering illegal and substandard nursing courses.

In a statement on Wednesday, September 18, NCK disclosed that the four institutions were offering nursing courses without approval from the council.

“Any course offered without the Nursing Council of Kenya’s (NCK) approval is not recognized and does not meet the required standards of training and professional practice,” NCK stated.

NCK further warned that those found offering nursing training courses without approval will face the law.

“The Council wishes to draw your attention to Section 21 of the Nurses and Midwives Act CAP 257 Laws of Kenya, which stipulates that any person conducting nursing training courses without Council approval, upon conviction, is guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding five hundred thousand shillings, imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years, or both,” NCK remarked.

For a list of approved institutions and programs as of 30th August 2024, NCK urged those interested to visit its official website  https://nckenya.com/approved-training-institutions/ for verification.
