Healthnicon Nursing College Western Cape Campus Application Status 2024-2025 Intake

Established in March 1995 as “The Private Nursing School,” Healthnicon was among the pioneers of private nursing education in South Africa, accredited by the South African Nursing Council (SANC). Since then, it has grown to include the Healthnicon Vaal Campus and the Healthnicon Western Cape Campus.

Over the years, Healthnicon has ascended to prominence as a premier private nursing education institution. Its commitment is reflected in the diverse training it offers, grooming individuals as Community Health Workers, Auxiliary Nurses, Enrolled Nurses, and Registered Nurses. Their curriculum is enriched with courses in Geriatric Care, Paediatric Care, and Orthopaedic Care, among others.

Cape Town is home to Healthnicon’s main office. Besides, the institution boasts three accessible campuses: in Pretoria, Vereeniging’s Vaal, and Parow’s Western Cape. The college not only provides foundational programs but also courses addressing specific, in-demand skills. These programs lead to recognized qualifications, paving the way for further education, career progression, and personal growth.
