What the PQE is
The Professional Qualifying Examination is the NMCN exam diet for candidates who have completed an accredited nursing or midwifery programme. It is separate from school finals and separate from later licence renewal.
How it differs from the main guide
The comprehensive NMCN guide covers registration, documents, fees, and licensing for the whole Council journey. This page stays on the sitting itself: who is presented, what the diet looks like, and what a pass unlocks next.
After you sit
- Wait for the official portal result, not a leaked list.
- If you pass, start the registration and licensing steps on the Council site.
- If you do not pass, read the next diet instruction before you pay anyone.
