Kerala's most trusted IQN coaching centre for internationally qualified nurses targeting New Zealand registration. Expert trainers, Pearson VUE mock tests, and individualised study support - from your first question to passing day.
Based in Kochi, Kerala, Graduate Training Academy specialises in IQN (Internationally Qualified Nurses) Theoretical Examination coaching and New Zealand nursing registration preparation. Since 2024, we have helped over 500 nurses from Kerala and across India navigate the NCNZ registration pathway — with a first-attempt pass rate that reflects our depth of preparation.
The IQN Theoretical Examination is a mandatory computer-based multiple-choice exam set by the Nursing Council of New Zealand (NCNZ) and administered through Pearson VUE test centres. As one of the best IQN coaching centres in Kerala, our trainers are deeply familiar with NCNZ competency standards, NZ healthcare frameworks, medication safety protocols, and the scenario-based question style used in the actual Pearson VUE exam.
We offer both online and offline IQN training in Kochi, making our programme accessible whether you are working in Ernakulam, Kottayam, Thrissur, Kozhikode, or anywhere across Kerala. After clearing the IQN theory exam, our OSCE coaching programme prepares you for the clinical examination at Nurse Maude Simulation & Assessment Centre, Christchurch, New Zealand.
Every session is built around NCNZ competency standards, NZ-specific clinical scenarios, and the exact question format used in the Pearson VUE IQN exam - so you walk in prepared, not guessing.
Every study resource is mapped directly to NCNZ competency standards, NZ Health and Disability legislation, cultural safety frameworks, and the medication safety protocols tested in Part A. No generic nursing textbooks - only what the IQN exam actually assesses.
Full-length timed mock exams in the exact Pearson VUE format 120 MCQs split across Part A (Medication Safety) and Part B (Nursing Knowledge). Each mock is followed by a detailed performance debrief, weak-topic identification, and a personalised revision plan.
Small cohorts ensure every nurse receives personalised attention, one-on-one doubt sessions, and targeted feedback from trainers who understand both the NZ healthcare context and the specific challenges faced by nurses from Kerala and South India.
Ongoing doubt-clearing sessions, updated question banks aligned with NCNZ 2025–2026 guidelines, and WhatsApp support right up to your Pearson VUE exam appointment — because preparation does not stop at the classroom door.
Discuss your NCNZ application status, target exam timeline, and current preparation level with our IQN coaching advisors. We will confirm which stages of the registration pathway apply to your specific nursing background and advise on the right batch format for you.
