Introduction
This modern facebrick nursing college was opened in 1982 and is completely autonomous.
Student Capacity
The college is capable of handling about 1’500 students per annum. However, due to financial constraints, only around 100 new nursing students are allowed on intake per year, which has reduced the number of trainees to approximately 800 annually.
Facilities available:
- A library and a study area specifically designed for students who wish to view audio-visual programmes individually
- An audio-visual department equipped with basic audio-visual equipment, for the enhancement of learning and teaching
- An auditorium with a capacity for over 300 people, which is utilised by both college and hospital staff
- Computers for students
University Association
In 1985 an agreement was signed between the University of the Witwatersrand and the Department of Hospital Services. This provided for the university to supervise matters of academic standards in the training of nurses. At present the four-year basic course is offered within the framework of this association.
This agreement also set up the structure for control of the college activities by two bodies:
- The College Council
- The College Senate
The College Council, which includes members of the public, deals with aspects like budgeting, physical facilities, posts, disciplinary matters and service conditions. The College Senate is concerned with academic matters.

The college offers the following courses:
Four-year diploma in nursing, which include General, Psychiatric, Community Health and Midwifery Nursing Science
Two-year course for Pupil Enrolled Nurses

Community Involvement
The college has offered its physical facilities to the community to conduct an education programme on Saturdays, known as SUPEDI (Supplementary Education Programme). This is a non-profit community-based programme upgrading Grade 1 – 7 Soweto pupils in English and Mathematics.
Continuing Education
The college also serves as a venue for continuing education programmes, run by the hospital, local authority clinics and the community.

The information below applies to all other payments to SANC, and specifically to making payments into SANC’s bank account. SANC encourages all clients to make use of its reference deposit bank account for all payments as the most cost and time-effective method of making such payments.
SANC Reference Deposit Bank Account Details
The South African Nursing Council (SANC) prefers all payments to be made into its Reference Deposit Bank Account. This account has been specially set up so that the details of the payer and the purpose for which the payment is made can be captured by the bank – which will significantly speed up the time taken to process payments.
The SANC’s Reference Deposit Bank Account details are as follows:
| Council Bank Details: | |
| Bank Name: | First National Bank |
| Branch Name: | Corporate Core Banking – Pretoria |
| Branch Code: | 253145 |
| Account Name: | S A Nursing Council No 2 Account |
| Account Number: | 514 211 86 193 |
While payments into this account can be made in person at any branch of FNB (First National Bank), electronic means such as Internet banking, cell phone banking, and ATM payments can also be used. Some of these require that a payment beneficiary be set up on your bank/card account. Please consult your own bank if you need any assistance in setting up a beneficiary.
Standard Bank clients should please select the option for paying a business account. When asked to enter the name of the beneficiary, you should enter ‘S A Nursing Council’ – please note the SPACE between the ‘S’ and the ‘A’ otherwise you will not see SANC’s details listed.
