NMC to lower IELTS English language score from 7.00 to 6.5 for international Nurses to work in the UK

My sources tell me that the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) are about to reduce the IELTS English language score from an overall band score of 7.00 back down to 6.5 for international overseas trained nurses applying for registration to work in the UK.

The stringent IELTS requirement has been a stumbling block for many overseas trained nurses who want to apply for a Tier 2 working visa (work permit) to work in the UK as a Nurse (RGN). Even nurses with a UK degree have failed the test a number of times and had to leave the UK as they had run out of time with the Home Office.

Before 2007, nurses had to achieve a score of 6.5 in all four elements - Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. This was increased following consultations during a time when the government was trying to put the brakes on non-EU immigration.

The move follows news that NMC (the body which regulates and registers nurses) registrations by EU and non-EU trained nurses have reached worryingly low levels. In December 2016, just 100 EU nurses applied to join the register, compared with 1300 just six months earlier. Earlier this year, we reported that the number of EU nurses registering to working the UK had plummeted by 90%, which NMC head, Jackie Smith blamed on the Brexit effect.

The Nursing Times reported in May that the regulator was 'taking stock' of the English controversial language testing system requirement,which is actually more like an IQ test, after some NHS Trust chief nurses and nursing agencies warned that the exam was blocking overseas nurse recruitment.

There are thousands of nursing job vacancies in the UK in NHS hospitals and nursing homes. If you would like to migrate to the UK on a working visa as a nurse you should visit the NMC website. Most employers will expect you to have at least registered and preferably, where applicable, taken the online test and passed the IELTS exam.

Nurses needed in UK, Work Permits and UK Visas available

The new British Prime Minister, Theresa May wants to reduce net migration, but nurses are desperately needed by UK employers, especially in the private nursing home sector, which cannot recruit staff locally.

Due to a severe shortage of nurses in the UK and aggressive recruitment by NHS Hospitals, the private sector is suffering the worst staffing crisis since the early 2000's, the the RCN nurses union estimate that there are 20,000 nursing job vacancies in England and Wales.

Due to a severe shortage of nurses in the UK and aggressive recruitment by NHS Hospitals, the private sector is suffering the worst staffing crisis since the early 2000's.

The EU market for nurses has been heavily depleted by numerous recruitment drives over the last three years, and employers are increasingly turning to non-EU nurses to fill the UK job vacancies.

In order to work in the UK as a nurse trained outside the EU, you should first register with the NMC on their website. You will need to take an online test and pass an IELTS exam at level 7.00 across all bands. The language test is the biggest stumbling block for overseas nurses, according to a soon to be published new study. 

NMC fees for the 4 stage application process:

Application for nursing/midwifery £140
Part 1 test of competence (CBT) £130
Part 2 test of competence (OSCE) £992
Admission onto our register £153
Total £1415

For full details, check the NMC website http://www.nmc.org.uk/ and see if you will qualify for UK registration.

Despite rising immigration in the UK and government plans to restrict skilled migrants to 30,000 per year, Tier 2 working visas or work permits are available for shortage occupation category non-EU nurses right now with excellent salary packages up to £30,000 per year.




Employers need to register with the Home Office as Tier 2 Sponsors in order to employ non-EU nurses. We can assist employers with the Tier 2 sponsorship registration process.

If you are interested in working in the UK as a nurse in a nursing home, or an employer looking for staff or Tier 2 sponsorship start by registering with the NMC where you can see all the rules.
