Accreditation services

• Providers are given acknowledgement that they meet a consistent standard nationally.
• Accreditation with RCNA provides a benchmark for course providers. It also provides guidelines to potential course developers, of the nursing profession’s expectations to minimise the risk of courses being developed in isolation from the wider profession.
• Accreditation with RCNA enables potential students to be assured that the course is of an appropriate standard for the nursing profession and that it provides value to their learning goals and needs.
• Accreditation with RCNA is a national process. It therefore allows mobility for nurses.
• Accreditation is about ongoing evaluation of courses and their providers. RCNA offers ongoing support and feedback to education providers, ensuring that RCNA members and other nurses are accessing the best possible education available to them at that time.
• Continuing Nurse Education (CNE) points are allocated to accredited educational courses, offering participants the opportunity to accrue points towards the annual requirement in RCNA’s Life Long Learning Program (3LP).
