Pearson VUE NMC login: booking and paying for the CBT

How do you use your Pearson VUE NMC login?

1. Wait for the NMC to confirm you need the Test of Competence. If you’re returning to practice, the NMC emails you how to book your CBT and OSCE (objective structured clinical examination).
2. Look for Pearson VUE’s email with your temporary password. Emails come from addresses ending “@pearson.com”, so check your junk folder.
3. Sign in and choose View exams.
4. Pick the exam that matches your application, then select both modules, Part A and Part B, for a first attempt.
5. Pay at checkout. Each module shows its own price first, but booking both costs £83 in total.

You can book online or by phone, up to one working day ahead. The NMC tells you the date by which you must complete your CBT, and Pearson VUE can’t change it.

CBT fees and resit fees

You pay Pearson VUE when you book. If you’re testing in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Benin, Cameroon, Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Lebanon, Nigeria, Pakistan, Senegal, Tanzania or Uganda and can’t pay by card, Pearson VUE lets you buy test vouchers through MindHub.

The NMC’s own fees, for checking your qualification and for registration, are on the registration page. The OSCE fee is on the Test of Competence page.
