COVID-19 update
CIPPET offers part-time postgraduate programmes to prepare nurses to practise as both independent and supplementary prescribers and to meet the standards set by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
The programme comprises teaching and learning, which include taught days, self-directed study time, assessment and workplace-based learning (the 78 hours of learning in practice).
Details of our accreditation can be found at NMC accreditation. From January 2020, this programme is approved against the new NMC programme standards.
Nurses studying the programme can be assessed at either level 6 (undergraduate), leading to a Graduate Certificate, or level 7 (postgraduate), leading to a Postgraduate Certificate. Both programmes award 60 academic credits.
Applicants can choose between studying one day a week (Thursday) or on our intensive weekend programme for those who want a more flexible study arrangement.
