Our unique, fully funded, three-week Return to Practice (RtP) programme is designed to refresh your skills, rebuild your confidence, and help you re-enter the profession you love – on your terms.
Ready to return to nursing? If you have prior NMC registration as a nurse, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Our programme is a pioneering approach to supporting nurses to rejoin the NMC register. It is a test of competence and consists of a multiple-choice computer-based test (CBT) and a practical exam (OSCE).
Designed to provide holistic support, this programme will guide you through the Test of Competence route back to registration. You will receive expert support in preparing for the Computer-Based Test (CBT) and take part in an immersive simulated learning experience tailored to the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) skills stations.
With hands-on practice, personalised guidance, and dedicated support, you can refine their skills and build confidence ahead of their assessments. You will then undertake two tests to demonstrate your learning.
All our courses are facilitated by the NHS Professionals Academy. Growing knowledge, skills and careers for healthcare professionals.

Simply provide details of your previous NMC registration, and our team will be in contact within two working days.
This programme is delivered in collaboration with and funded by NHS England.
