Why Northumbria?

Why choose Northumbria University as your test centre?

A quality academic track-record – Northumbria University is well-established with highly rated NMC and HCPC approved programmes, with an excellent award-winning reputation for providing innovative, flexible and wide-ranging professional learning and development opportunities for those working in health and social care. 

We put the candidate at the heart of our approach – we have invested heavily in a brand-new Competence Test Centre which has been designed with the candidate experience firmly at heart.  Our team are experts in their field – by using their diverse range of experience, we help develop the next generation of caring, compassionate and competent health professionals who place the patient at the centre of decision making by promoting dignity, care, and compassion.

We are situated in a great city with convenient transport links – Newcastle is consistently ranked as one of the best cities to visit in the UK.  Beyond the Test of Competence itself, we invite you to experience the famous Geordie spirit in a city bursting with activity and a range of places to stay.  It is quick and easy to get to Newcastle – with an international airport, fast and frequent rail connections, an international ferry terminal and a number of major road routes including the A1, the North-East is probably closer than you think.

We work in partnership every step of the way – At Northumbria we firmly believe in partnerships, and seek to work in close collaboration with all our partners. We are keen to work with your organisation to understand your needs, your strategy and your requirements not just in terms of the Test of Competence but in terms of preparation, managing bookings, logistics and follow up.
