HPCNA Nurse & Midwife Pre-Registration Evaluation

No. This is an independent study resource written for candidates preparing for nursing and midwifery pre-registration evaluation in Namibia. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Health Professions Council of Namibia or its Nursing Board. Always treat the Board's own published pages as authoritative over anything written here.

Start with the Nursing Board of Namibia section on the HPCNA website, specifically the Minimum Requirements and Registration pages. Those determine whether you are eligible and what documentation is needed. Only after confirming eligibility should you plan study around the Scope of Practice and Conditions to practice. Do not begin with practice questions before confirming you qualify.

The HPCNA home page lists the Nursing Board's published areas as Minimum Requirements, Registration, Scope of Practice, Regulation, Conditions to practice, CPD, Guidelines and Regulations, Badges, Impaired Persons, Fees, Training Institutions and Appeal. The detailed content, format and weighting of any assessment are not stated on the home page, so confirm them from the Board's own documents rather than from secondary sources.

Those figures are not published on the HPCNA home page, so no reliable number can be given here. Question counts, duration and structure should be confirmed directly with the Nursing Board of Namibia through its published documentation or contact channels. Treat any specific count or time limit you see elsewhere with caution unless it traces back to the Board.

The HPCNA home page does not state a pass mark or an evaluation fee. The Nursing Board publishes a Fees section, which is the correct place to confirm costs, and any passing standard should be confirmed from official Board documentation. Avoid budgeting or planning around figures from unofficial sources, since fees and standards are revised periodically.

Retake rules, waiting periods and any limits on attempts are not stated on the HPCNA home page. The Nursing Board does publish an Appeal section, which is relevant if you believe an outcome was wrong rather than simply unsuccessful. Confirm retake policy directly with the Board before assuming a timeframe or a number of permitted attempts.

Work from the published structure: Minimum Requirements and Registration first, then Scope of Practice and Conditions to practice, then Regulation and CPD. That order mirrors how the profession is regulated and keeps your study anchored to what the Board actually publishes. Build clinical reasoning around the scope you will be registered under rather than memorising isolated facts.

The most frequent problems are procedural rather than clinical: applying before confirming minimum requirements, submitting incomplete documentation, and studying from unofficial summaries instead of the Board's own Scope of Practice and Conditions to practice. Another common issue is ignoring the Appeal route when an outcome is disputed. Confirm eligibility and paperwork first, then focus study effort.

The HPCNA website provides an E-Register and a separate Evaluation Dates page. The E-Register is where registration records are published, and Evaluation Dates covers scheduled assessments. Check both directly rather than relying on secondhand information, and note the HPCNA's published notice that its telephone number changed on 11 Jun 2026 to 061555800.
