Complete Guide to Ghana Nursing and Midwifery Training College Admissions

Admission into public and mission Health Training Institutions (HTIs) across Ghana is governed by the Ministry of Health (MoH) in coordination with the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana (N&MC). Every year, thousands of Senior High School (SHS) graduates and certificate holders apply via the central healthtraining.gov.gh portal.

Understanding how the Ministry calculates your 6-subject aggregate score and what strict grade thresholds apply across core mathematics and integrated science ensures you target the right program and avoid rejection during initial document vetting.

How MoH Calculates Your Nursing Admission Aggregate (Zero LaTeX)

The Ministry of Health calculates admission eligibility on a 6-Subject Aggregate Scale. The 6 subjects must strictly comprise your 3 core subjects plus your best 3 elective subjects:

Core Aggregate = Grade(English) + Grade(Core Mathematics) + Grade(Integrated Science)
Elective Aggregate = Grade(Elective 1) + Grade(Elective 2) + Grade(Elective 3)
Total Net MoH Aggregate = Core Aggregate + Elective Aggregate (Best 6 Subjects)

Understanding WASSCE Grade Numerical Values:

  • • A1 = 1 Point (Excellent)
  • • B2 = 2 Points (Very Good)
  • • B3 = 3 Points (Good)
  • • C4 = 4 Points (Credit)
  • • C5 = 5 Points (Credit)
  • • C6 = 6 Points (Credit - Minimum passing threshold for Diploma)
  • • D7 = 7 Points (Pass - Eligible for Certificate only)
  • • E8 = 8 Points (Pass - Eligible for Certificate only)
  • • F9 = 9 Points (Fail)
Diploma Programmes (3 Years)

RGN, RM, CHN, and RMN

Direct diploma training qualifies you for staff nurse licensing upon passing the N&MC professional licensing examination. Applicants must achieve Aggregate 24 or better with no grade lower than C6 in any of the 6 subjects.

Certificate Programmes (2 Years)

Nurse Assistant Clinical (NAC) & Preventive (NAP)

Designed for applicants with passes in D7 and E8 (Aggregate 36 or better). After completing the 2-year certificate and practicing for 3 years, candidates can upgrade to a Diploma through post-basic sandwich programs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What if I have an aggregate of 20 but a D7 in Core Mathematics? ▼

Even though your total aggregate (20) is well within the 24 threshold, the D7 in Core Mathematics violates the mandatory A1–C6 prerequisite for direct Diploma admission. You will be redirected to certificate programs (NAC/NAP) unless you re-sit Core Mathematics in Nov/Dec WASSCE.

Can male applicants apply for Registered Midwifery (RM)? ▼

Under current Ministry of Health regulations in Ghana, the Diploma in Registered Midwifery (RM) program is strictly reserved for female candidates. Male candidates interested in clinical healthcare can apply for Registered General Nursing (RGN), Mental Health Nursing (RMN), Community Health Nursing (CHN), or Physician Assistantship.

When does the Ghana Nursing Training application portal open each year? ▼

The MoH Health Training portal typically opens between March and April and closes in June/July. E-vouchers are purchased from designated banks (GCB, ADB) or via mobile money codes issued by the Ministry.
