You probably know someone who wishes to pursue a nursing course but does not know the requirements or even how to go about it. Nursing is one of the noble professions offered in Kenya. Unfortunately, many people miss out on joining this field due to lack of information about the entry requirements. It is important to be updated with this information so that you can select a nursing course best suited to your qualifications. In this regard, we provide an outline of the nursing courses in Kenya and their admission requirements to help you in making the best decision.

In Kenya, nursing courses are very popular with thousands of students joining accredited schools to kick-start their career path. Most of these courses are easily accessible because they are offered by major hospitals even in remote areas. Certificate in nursing in Kenya is the lowest level for which one can be allowed to practice nursing. Other levels of nursing include a diploma in nursing, a bachelor’s degree in nursing, and other short medical courses offered to interested groups. Those working need not worry because many private universities offer part-time nursing courses in Kenya.

KUCCPS Nursing Qualifications :Certificate in nursing in Kenya

A certificate is probably the lowest course in nursing and takes little time to complete. A certificate in nursing in Kenya takes two and a half years to complete while other certificate courses offered at nursing colleges take two years. To qualify for any of these courses, one is required to have a minimum of C- as the aggregate grade in KCSE. One should also have a relevant combination of subjects done to match the prospective course. One can apply for a certificate in nursing at KMTC campuses all over the country after ensuring that all requirements are met.

KUCCPS Diploma in nursing in Kenya

A diploma in a nursing course in Kenya will require a KCSE mean grade of C or its equivalent. Certificate holders can also be eligible to apply for a diploma in nursing as long as they comply with set guidelines. It should be remembered that the correct subject combination should be observed or else one will not be admitted to any school for a nursing diploma. The correct combination should include English, Kiswahili, Biology, Biological Sciences, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, and Physical sciences. Almost all diploma nursing courses take 3 years with the exception of community health nursing which takes 42 months.

Higher diploma in nursing

Nurses wishing to scale up their qualifications should consider a higher diploma. The higher diploma nursing course is open to individuals who have successfully completed basic diploma in nursing or a relevant field.
