The Anchor, Eldoret, Kenya
You need IELTS and less 7 months to get to practice in U.K as a nurse .
Step 1. IELTS Training
This is the first step for anyone planning for Overseas Nursing jobs. We understand that sometimes it becomes hard for a hardworking nursing to work and prepare IELTS at the same time and we have created an innovative and flexible training which prepares nurses from any part of the country and world at large.
This is to the fact that our students only require to be able to access WhatsApp. Our online training is majorly through WhatsApp, quite convenient for you guys since it doesn’t matter where you are, provided you are able to access WhatsApp.
Duration
It’s a six weeks training.
Step 2: IELTS Exam
After Six weeks of IELTS training you will be ready to be presented for an exam.
Academic Module
All our students are only allowed to prepare and sit for IELTS Academic Module.
This is the required module for your NMC registration and UK Immigration
Exam Booking
At kenyanNurse we normally guide our students on how and when to book the exam. This is normally after your 3rd week in the training. Fortunately, before you start your training you will be given the Training Timetable which will include your exam date.

Required Documents
You also need the following so we can do the application; Remember that you won’t be able to take the exam before making this application. :
1.valid passport

NCK Documents Verification
Immediately you pay NMC they will email your registration request to NCK’s email.
You will have to contact NCK to request them to check whether they have received any link from NMC concerning your NMC registration application.
Once NCK confirms reception of the link, they will request you to make some payment.
After this,you will need to visit nck
With a;

Recommendation Letter (Written by your referee and stamped)
We have our reservations on this cost. It’s our belief that NCK shouldn’t charge such amount just to fill your details in an online link. They should consider charging nurses utmost 5k since they no longer have the postage fee as it used to be in the old NMC registration process.

Your college or university where you trained will also receive a link to fill your training details.
You need to contact Director of academics in your training institutions for this. If you trained in KMTC you will all be processed centrally at the Nairobi Campus by the KMTC Director of Academics. And if you trained in a private Nursing school please contact either your principal or H.O.D Academics. For those who are from Nursing Universities please contact either the Dean school of Nursing or H.O.D.
