NMC Test Online

Anybody here who took the Pearsons Vue NMC exam? How was it? TY!

Hi! I currently got the desired IELTS OBS to work in the UK and had it known by NMC. I got an email from NMC stating that I passed the eligibility stage of registration. According to my friend I should receive a total of 3 emails from NMC in order for me to register and book my CBT with Pearson Vue. Is there anyone of you who knows why I only received one mail? Is there any delay in receiving your username, password and authorisation to test nowadays? Thanks!

... done clearing my inbox. :) It's true that they will make things fast if the applicant sends them a lot of emails. I think calling them also helps. Thanks for all of your help and info, Andrei. :)

And I am pretty sure that your DL will be coming also very soon.

For those who are using their title as a volunteer nurse/ volunteer staff nurse in their application, include a letter stating that your practice as a volunteer nurse requires u to work as a Registered Nurse. I think this will make things quick.

Hi. I am a newbie here and I would just like to ask you what kind of e-mails did you send them? What I mean is, did you keep asking them if when will be the time they'd finally release your DL? Or how many days should it take for them to have that Decision Letter? Cause I really wanna try bombarding them with e-mails so I can finally put my mind at ease.

I have all my documents uploaded into the portal since the 9th of February and till now, there is no DL. I am actually quite anxious cause some of the people I know received their decision letter ONLY DAYS AFTER their documents have reflected the fastest was 3 days and some had their DL just a week after. So, this is quite frustrating and I feel so helpless. 2 weeks already have passed and ugh..hope you could help me.

to all filipino nurses who applied thru an agency here in the Philippines. would you guys mind sharing your timeline from application to flight date...

This isn't exactly my experience cause I haven't received my decision letter yet but this is based on 4 people I know that are now in the UK. And this might be a good reference for people interested to apply for UK

no IELTS yet? have 1 year hospital experience? then..

look for an Employer through an agency (they might shoulder your IELTS UKVI, CBT examinations, but this varies among different employers) In the Philippines, there are lots of agencies and mostly have a weekly interview with different employers under NHS Trust and other Private Hospitals. 1-3 days

already have an Employer? confident with your English Language Skills?

BOOK your UKVI IELTS Achieve a band score for each category with atleast 7. Unlucky? Re-sit your IELTS but book now with the regular IELTS and make sure to pass it this time.

1-2 months

Register under NMC: Overseas RegistrationYou will receive an e-mail stating that you have passed the Eligibility blah blah.. Within 24hours

BOOK your CBT NMC will prompt you to book your CBT under Pearson Vue and they are the ones to provide you the username and password all you have to do is assign the date and venue where you want to sit the exam and pay. £130 (Within 24-48 hours). Review time for CBT (give it a month or two)

FULL Application and Assessment Once you passed the CBT, you will then receive an e-mail from NMC prompting you to pay £140 to gain access to the downloadable,barcoded forms and the online application form. Fill out that online form and make sure the all input you've made are correct and the same with what you've placed in your downloaded forms.

Reference Forms 1 and 2 - done in a day or a week at max

Form to accompany Transcript of training - 1-2 weeks

Registration Authority Verification 1-3 weeks

Accomplished all the forms? then send them all through FedEx or DHL. Documents will be received by NMC within 3-7 days depending where your location is. Don't loose the tracking numbers of all your packs.

All will be scanned and uploaded after 10-15 days upon receipt. Once all documents are reflected on the portal, congratulations, your now on the assessment queue. With the case of my friends and acquaintances it only took them 3-7 days to actually receive their decision letter. With my case, it's been 2 weeks and still no sign of it and there is this 'more information required - feedback' stated on top of the table of my documents but the NMC Call Centre just said to just ignore it (reassuring, right?not!). And I heard one that said she received hers, 3 months after! like whaaaaaaaat?! Anyways,..

Once you have your decision letter already. Inform your Agency/International Agency/Employer that you already have your DL. Then they would let you go through the medical and TB test all done within a day and they'd be the one to book your OSCE (I'm not sure bout this).

Certificate of Sponsorship will be released once you have your result with your medical but this depends with the employer you have. Some release it just 3 days after some even longer, a month at max (just being optimistic). Then your agency would most probably handle for your Visa Application and you'd just be given a date for your Embassy Appearance. Within a week your visa will be released some even just a day but had to pay extra fees. Give it a week or two and then you'd be flying out of your country! To sum it up, it would take 6 months - a year depending on the pace you comply the requirements.

Hope this helps all the readers out there cause it did help me. :yes:

A confidential agreement is signed when taking exams and if caught passing on information could cause problems as well as not fair on the ones that have already sat the exam and studied on their own

Good day,

I am a newbie here and I would like to make an inquiry regarding my current situation. My IELTS academic exam will be expiring on April 5, 2016. I recently got an employer, and I was able to finish my online registration with NMC. I now have my ATT to sit the CBT with PearsonVue. Right now, I am reviewing for the said exam.

My question is, do I need to retake the IELTS if I am unable to sit my CBT before April 5? My initial plan is to take the exam either on the first or second week of March. I believe the second step after the CBT is when I send to the NMC my documents. Does anyone in here have the same experience? Any suggestions or comments regarding my current situation?

Cheers!
