Khanyisa Nursing School is a private nursing education provider with a main campus in Johannesburg and sub-campuses at Witbank, Kroonstad, Bushbuckridge and Tonga. It offers a Higher Certificate in Nursing Auxiliary and a Diploma in Nursing.
Khanyisa has cancelled online registration and requires applicants to apply in person at their nearest campus. The school also states that no payment should be made for admission until the interview process is complete, and that banking details come only from its campuses.
Entry Requirements at a Glance
Applications are generally assessed on the following.
- A National Senior Certificate or an equivalent qualification
- Named subjects at the levels the programme requires
- Proficiency in English, which is the medium of instruction
- Completion of an interview, which is required before admission
- Health screening and a police clearance certificate
- Accreditation of the campus with the South African Nursing Council
Academic and Minimum Admission Requirements
Two programmes are offered: the Higher Certificate in Nursing Auxiliary as the entry-level qualification, and the Diploma in Nursing as the longer route towards general nurse registration.
Khanyisa states that both are accredited with the Council on Higher Education, registered with SAQA and provisionally registered with the Department of Higher Education and Training. Provisional registration is not the same as full registration, so ask about the current status for your campus and programme.
Subjects, APS and Qualification Requirements
English proficiency is explicitly required because it is the medium of instruction. Science subjects are required for the diploma route, reflecting its anatomy and physiology content.
The auxiliary certificate carries lighter subject requirements than the diploma, which makes it the accessible entry point. It articulates upward through recognised bridging routes.
Documents and Application Requirements
Applications normally require the following.
- A certified copy of your identity document
- Your National Senior Certificate or latest statement of results
- Proof of the application fee, where one is charged
- A medical or health screening report
- A police clearance certificate
- Proof of immunisation, where the clinical facility requires it
Selection, Intake and Eligibility Considerations
Admission follows an interview, and Khanyisa states that admission is only granted after the interview process is completed.
Take the school own payment warning seriously: no payment for admission until the interview is complete, banking details only from campuses, and no instant cash send or eWallet payments accepted. Anyone requesting payment on other terms should be treated as fraudulent. See Khanyisa Nursing School requirements.
