Candidates will be tested on a range of generic nursing competencies as well as topics relevant to your specific field of adult nursing. The NMC CBT Online tests applicants’ theoretical and practice-based knowledge and awareness of how the NMC Code is practised in the UK. The Future Perfect Health Admin team will take care of scheduling and booking your CBT Online Test at a test centre in the applicants’ country of residence.

The minimum Pass score is 66%. The CBT is a multiple-choice exam, which tests your theoretical practice-based knowledge. You’ll need to answer 120 questions and achieve a score of 66 % to pass the exam. The NMC reviews the pass mark regularly and it may change over time.

The UK Tier 2 Visa is the required work visa which enables an overseas individual to work in the UK. The individual’s stay in the UK is based on and for the purpose of employment. As part of our Gamechanger and Vocational Healthcare Programmes, when you have received an offer of employment with an NHS Hospital Trust in the UK, Future Perfect Health will collaborate with your UK Hospital employers in applying for your Tier 2 visa for the UK.

If you have been offered a skilled job in the UK and you are from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland.
Nurses from outside the EEA, for example, countries such as India, the Philippines, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Canada, Kenya, etc. can contact Future Perfect Health for any current nursing opportunities for a Tier 2 visa.
