Mature applicants to 2021 pre-registration Nursing and Midwifery degree programme - test familiarisation booklet

NMBI wishes to announce that the process for selecting mature applicants applying to the nursing and midwifery degree programmes includes assessment tests which are scheduled to be undertaken between Thursday, 22 April and Wednesday, 28 April 2021. Information on the tests is available in a familiarisation booklet which is now on our website.

Applicants who are applying for a nursing and midwifery degree programme as a mature applicant in 2021 must successfully complete our assessment tests in order to be eligible to have their application considered.  

NMBI has developed the Assessment Test familiarisation booklet 2021 to introduce applicants to the assessment tests that will be used. It aims to ensure that applicants are comfortable with the testing format and are aware of how to do their best in the test situation. By using the familiarisation booklet to prepare for the assessment test, they will be able to perform to the best of their ability on the test day.  

As part of the preparation, Aon Assessment Solutions have developed some videos to assist in preparing for the tests. These videos will give applicants an opportunity to familiarise themselves with the format and type of questions they can expect in the actual tests. The videos can be accessed on the Aon website. NMBI strongly advises applicants to review the information both in the booklet and on the Aon website. This will help the applicant understand what they have to do before they take the actual tests.

The assessment tests will be delivered remotely online in 2021. There will be a set period (a ‘testing window’) during which applicants must register and complete the three tests. Applicants should be aware that during the registration process they will be required to confirm that they have read the booklet including an Honesty Contract in order to proceed to testing. 

Registration and completing the tests can be conducted any time between 10am on Thursday, 22 April and 1pm on Wednesday, 28 April 2021. 

NMBI strongly recommend that applicants register and complete all of the tests early in the testing window.
