Approved Nursing Schools in Kenya for Diploma and Degree

The Nursing Council of Kenya is the authority mandated to approve and accredit nursing/midwifery training institutions and courses in Kenya. It is good to make sure that the college you want to undertake nursing diploma or degree course is approved before committing your money to the course.

The Nursing council of Kenya will only recognize trainings taken in approved nursing schools in Kenya.

Diploma in Nursing requires a minimum mean grade of C at KCSE and C in Biology. Degree requires at least KCSE mean grade of C+ and C+ in biology, together with a combination of other relevant subjects like English, Mathematics/Physics and Chemistry.
