Extension of date for Nursing Education Institutions to offer Legacy Nursing Qualifications

Circular 3/2010 has reference.

The Council has in its meeting of 28^th and 29^th June 2011, resolved to extend the date of offering Legacy Nursing Qualifications to 30 June 2013.  The implications of this resolution is that the last intake of Legacy Nursing Qualifications is therefore extended from 30 June 2012 to 30 June 2013.  The rationale for this extension is to allow adequate time for Nursing Education Institutions (NEI’s) to develop plans of phasing out legacy nursing qualifications while phasing in New Nursing Qualifications that are aligned to National Qualifications Framework (NQF).

The process of registering the New Nursing Qualifications with South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) and promulgation of the related regulations by the National Department of Health is under way.  Nursing Education Institutions shall be informed of further developments in this regard in due course.
