PTE for Healthcare · Ireland
Heads up: registered nurse registration in Ireland does not accept PTE Academic. Here's what does.
PTE Academic not accepted here
For registered nurse registration with the Nursing & Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI), PTE Academic is not among the accepted tests. The NMBI accepts IELTS Academic (7.0 overall) or OET (grade B). We tell you this plainly so you don't prepare for the wrong test.
PTE Academic is widely accepted by Irish universities for admission and is recognised for study purposes. For employment permits (such as the Critical Skills Employment Permit) the English requirement is usually met through your qualifications or professional registration rather than a separate test — and several Irish regulators set their own test list. Confirm with the institution and Immigration Service Delivery.
