For Indian nurses and doctors planning to work in the GCC, getting a professional licence is an important part of the journey. One step many healthcare professionals face is the Prometric exam. The exam is used as part of the professional assessment process for healthcare workers in several GCC licensing routes.<\/p>\n
However, the exact requirements depend on the country, healthcare authority, professional category and your qualifications. For Indian healthcare professionals, it is important to know which Indian qualifications (GNM, BSc Nursing, MBBS, MD\/MS, and DNB) are accepted by the DHA, DOH, MOHAP, QCHP, and SCFHS. Dynamic Health Staff provides all the latest information nurses need to know about NMC\/INC registration, DataFlow from India, Prometric centres in India, fees in INR, timelines and salaries.<\/p>\n
Prometric is a computer-based testing provider used by healthcare regulators for professional licensing assessments. Depending on where you want to work, you need to pass an assessment to get your healthcare licence.<\/p>\n
The UAE has different regulatory healthcare authorities like DHA and MOHAP, which provide nursing licences based on the results of the Prometric exam. DHA uses Prometric for some professional assessments in Dubai. Saudi Arabia’s SCFHS also uses professional examinations as part of its licensing process. Other GCC regulators have their own examination and assessment requirements.<\/p>\n
So, before applying for an exam, you should know which licensing authority you are applying to and which assessment applies to your professional title.<\/p>\n
Before beginning the process, you have to check your eligibility and prepare your documents. These include your degree or diploma, academic records, registration details, experience certificates, passport and other documents as required.<\/p>\n
DataFlow or another form of Primary Source Verification (PSV) will then be required to verify your education and professional experience. After this, candidates can complete the relevant authority application and, where applicable, book their licensing examination.<\/p>\n
Prometric testing centres are available in several Indian cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, Kolkata and Ahmedabad.<\/p>\n
The overall cost depends on the country and licensing authority. For estimates, the price range of DataFlow is around \u20b925,000\u2013\u20b955,000, authority application fees are around \u20b93,000\u2013\u20b910,000, and a Prometric exam attempt is around \u20b920,000\u2013\u20b942,000. Licence activation can involve additional costs.<\/p>\n
DataFlow and other verification steps can take several weeks, so it is better to start preparing your documents early with the guidance of Dynamic Health Staff.<\/p>\n
