Post-Registration Courses 

Continuing education is a lifelong learning process which takes place after the completion of the basic nursing/midwifery education programme. It consists of planned learning experiences which are designed to augment the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of registered nurses and midwives for the enhancement of nursing practice, education, administration and research.

A registered nurse or midwife might wish to pursue further education. Many such opportunities are available and NMBI has approved a number of specialist programmes, as well as programmes leading to an additional registration. 

Below is a list of post registration courses that are approved by NMBI. The final two columns in the table show the approval period with the course provider.

Search by course name, qualification and educational institution.
