Accredited public nursing colleges are all public nursing education institutions (NEIs) that are given the mandate and all the licenses to educate and train students to become nurses and midwives in South Africa.

These are public nursing colleges certified by the South African Nursing Council (SANC) as education institutions that meet all the requirements to teach and train students to become nurses and midwives.

Why Should I Go To Accredited Public Nursing Colleges?

The South African Nursing Council (SANC) is the body entrusted to set and maintain standards of nursing education and practice in the Republic of South Africa.

Do Accredited Public Nursing Colleges Offer Certificates?

Yes, SANC-accredited public nursing colleges are Nursing Education Institutions (NEIs) that issue certified and accepted nursing certificates. They are the colleges whose students can register with the South African Nursing Council (SANC).
