One of the functions of the Nursing Council is to accredit nursing education institutions (NEI’s) and the training programmes presented by those institutions. Council is empowered in terms of legislation to perform these functions.
Illegal Colleges / Institutions / Programmes
It is important that learners make sure that the nursing college or school in Gauteng where they will be trained as a nurse is accredited by the SANC and that the training programme (course) is also accredited by the Nursing Council. If a nursing college is illegal or not accredited, the Nursing Council will not recognise any of the training you have received.
