Ferdinand | EducationGhana | May 7 | Nursing Training College Wa to Launch BSc Nursing Programme in 2025
Nursing Training College Wa secures accreditation to offer BSc Nursing degrees, set to admit the first batch in 2025, targeting NAC and RGN diploma holders.
 The Nursing Training College (NTC) in Wa is set to begin awarding Bachelor of Science (BSc) degrees in Nursing following successful accreditation from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) and the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana.
This significant milestone positions the institution as one of the few public nursing colleges in Ghana transitioning into full-fledged degree-awarding status.
First Admissions Target NAC and RGN Holders
According to college authorities, first admissions are scheduled for the 2025/2026 academic year, and the programme is tailored for Nursing Assistant Clinical (NAC) certificate holders and Registered General Nurse (RGN) diploma graduates seeking to upgrade their qualifications.
This initiative aims to bridge the professional development gap in Ghana’s healthcare system and enhance the competencies of nurses to meet global standards.
