Illegal Institutions
It is imperative that students make sure that the institution where they will
be trained as a nurse is approved by the S A Nursing Council AND that the training programme (course)
is also approved by the Nursing Council. If either is NOT APPROVED,
the Nursing Council will not recognise any of the training the student has
received. This means that the student will not be able to practice in
South Africa (or elsewhere) after completing the training. All the time
and money that the student has spent on training will be wasted.
Often, such illegal institutions try to protect themselves by giving
their courses obscure names like Pre-nursing and telling the prospective
student that by following such a course, the student will be guaranteed entry
into further nursing education (at the same or another nursing education
institution). There is no such thing and no such guarantee. The education
and training regulations (available on this web-site) give minimum entry
requirements for each nursing training programme.
The Nursing Council handles complaints or reports received about illegal
institutions operating in South Africa.
All allegations are investigated and, if it is found that an institution is
operating illegally, the co-operation of the South African Police Services
(SAPS) is sought in closing down the institution. SAPS is involved in this
process because in terms of the Nursing Act, 1978 it is a criminal offence for
someone to operate such an institution or to offer such a programme.
If you are aware of any institution that you think may be operating
illegally, please send full details to the Council so that the facts can be
checked.
