About this qualification

This is an NQF Level 6 nursing diploma that brings together general nursing, psychiatric nursing, community nursing and midwifery. The available record indicates that its registration period ended on 30 June 2006, so its present availability and status should be confirmed before it is considered for enrolment.

Who might consider this qualification?

People interested in a broad nursing qualification involving general, psychiatric and community nursing as well as midwifery might consider it. However, because the recorded registration period has ended, prospective learners should first verify whether it is still available or recognised for new enrolment.

How this qualification may support career preparation

The qualification title indicates preparation across several nursing-related areas, including general, psychiatric and community nursing and midwifery. It should not be treated as guaranteeing employment, appointment, professional registration or entry into any career. Current recognition and any applicable professional requirements must be confirmed independently.
