KMTC hosts delegation of health employers from the United States of America

-
NAIROBI, Kenya Jan 25...The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) hosted a delegation of health employers from the United Stated States (U.S), in preparation for the launch of the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) centre in Nairobi

After South Africa, Kenya is poised to become the second African country to host the NCLEX-RN, a standardized exam required for practicing as a registered nurse in the U.S., Canada, and Australia.

“The dream of hosting the center will come to fruition next month when operations officially commence. I thank Virtual Universal Enterprises (VUE) for accepting to host the program,” said head of delegation,  Hon.Mohammed Noor

Kenyan nurses seeking employment in the U.S. have been compelled to undertake the examinations in either South Africa or India.

Hon. Noor disclosed ongoing discussions with the U.S. to remove other barriers, including English language proficiency.

“Since Kenyan students speak English and are in the same language, there will be no need for them to be tested on English language proficiency.” added Hon.Noor

As part of visa requirements, individuals seeking to travel to the U.S. are assessed through standardized language proficiency tests, including the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).

The Principal Secretary of the State Department for Public Health and Professional Standards, Ms. Mary Muthoni, welcomed the initiative as timely, noting its potential to strengthen ties between Kenya and the United States
