Registration now open for mature applicant testing 

We would like to advise all mature applicants applying to undergraduate degree programmes in nursing and midwifery that registration to sit the assessment tests is now open. 

All mature applicants are required to have a valid CAO application number and successfully complete three assessment tests to be eligible for an undergraduate programme. 

Applicants must complete the registration process by Tuesday, 23 April 2024. NMBI strongly recommends that applicants register as soon as possible.  

To register, applicants will be required to provide the following:  

• the same email address used in their CAO application  

• their CAO number   

• a scanned copy (clear photo) of your government issued photo identification  

We will only consider your completed assessment if you have uploaded your photo identification by the registration deadline of 1pm on Tuesday, 23 April 2024. Only current passports and current photo-bearing driving licences or learner permits will be accepted.  

Applicants with a disability who require reasonable accommodations/adjustments, should contact nmbi.support@aon-assessment.com immediately after you register. It is the applicant’s responsibility to contact us and it is important that they do so before the deadline of 1pm on Tuesday, 23 April 2024. A medical/psychologist report is required to enable us to determine what accommodations are needed. If a report is not submitted report by 1pm on Tuesday, 23 April 2024 we will not be able to provide reasonable accommodations/adjustments.  

To assist applicants in preparing for the assessment tests, we have developed an assessment test familiarisation booklet. We recommend that this booklet is read in full before registering and completing the assessment tests.  

Applicants should also refer to the Mature Applicants page of our website, as any updates during the process will be published on this page.  

The assessment tests will be completed online between 1pm on Wednesday, 8 May and 1pm on Wednesday, 15 May 2024.
