PMT Health Care Institution holds formal approval from HPCNA and accreditation from NQA. This page exists to make that verifiable — not as marketing copy.
On the question of legitimacy
PMT is a registered, accredited nursing training institution in Namibia. The Health Professions Council of Namibia granted approval on 10 September 2021, and the qualification is accredited by NQA at NQF Level 6. Both are matters of public record.
The institution has, at times, been the subject of incorrect information shared online. We do not engage with that noise defensively. Instead, this page sets out the primary-source proof of PMT's standing — the regulator, the date of approval, and what each accreditation means in plain terms for a prospective student. If a claim about PMT's legitimacy cannot be traced back to HPCNA or NQA, it is not authoritative.
Prospective students, parents, employers, and the public are encouraged to verify PMT's status directly with the relevant authorities. Contact details for both regulators are listed below.

HPCNA approval means the institution is legally registered to train health professionals in Namibia. Graduates are eligible to register with HPCNA and practise.
Approval was granted on 10 September 2021. From that date, PMT is authorised to train health professionals in Namibia under the regulatory framework administered by HPCNA.
For prospective students, the practical implication is straightforward: graduates of an HPCNA-approved institution are eligible to register with HPCNA and practise in Namibia. Without that approval, a nursing qualification has no regulatory standing.

Namibia Qualifications Authority
NQA accreditation means the qualification meets the national standard at the stated NQF level and is recognised on the Namibian Qualifications Framework.
NQA accreditation places the qualification on the Namibian Qualifications Framework at NQF Level 6. This means the qualification's learning outcomes, duration, and assessment standards have been evaluated against a national benchmark — not set by the institution itself.
For graduates, NQA accreditation is what allows the diploma to be recognised by employers, further training institutions, and articulation partners — including the I-Care Health Training Institute MOU signed on 22 August 2023.

Common questions about PMT's standing.
- Is PMT a legitimate nursing school?
- Yes. PMT Health Care Institution is approved by the Health Professions Council of Namibia (HPCNA), with approval granted on 10 September 2021, and the Diploma in Enrolled Nursing and Midwifery Science is accredited by NQA at NQF Level 6. Both are verifiable through the relevant regulators.
- Can I register with HPCNA after graduating from PMT?
- Graduates of an HPCNA-approved institution are eligible to apply for registration with HPCNA. Registration is the regulatory step that allows a nurse to legally practise in Namibia.
- What does NQF Level 6 mean?
- NQF Level 6 sits on the Namibian Qualifications Framework above Level 5 (typically certificates and lower diplomas) and below Level 7 (typically bachelor's degrees). It is the level at which diploma-level nursing and midwifery qualifications are placed on the framework.
- Where can I verify this independently?
- The two authoritative sources are HPCNA (hpcna.org) and NQA (namqa.org). Both maintain public registers of approved and accredited institutions. If a claim about PMT cannot be traced back to either body, it should not be treated as authoritative.
