Licensing Pathway Support
Gulf Countries (DHA / HAAD / Saudi Prometric / QCHP)
Gulf licensing typically requires: DataFlow verification of credentials, the relevant licensing authority exam or equivalency assessment, a job offer from a licensed healthcare employer, and visa/work permit processing. JAI HR guides candidates through each step and connects them with employers who have open licenced roles.
United Kingdom (NMC Registration)
Indian nurses applying for UK NMC registration complete: English proficiency (IELTS Academic 7.0 overall / OET Grade B), an online Computer-Based Test (CBT) of nursing knowledge, the OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) at an NMC-approved test centre in the UK, then full registration. JAI HR coordinates pre-arrival preparation and connects candidates with NHS Trusts and private hospital groups offering sponsorship.
Germany (Approbation + B2 German)
Germany requires: B2-level German language certification (Goethe or TELC), qualification recognition via the relevant state authority (Approbation for full recognition or Berufserlaubnis for partial), and a hospital or care facility sponsor. JAI HR partners with B2 language training institutes in India and supports the document preparation for state-level recognition applications.
Australia (AHPRA)
Indian nurses require NCLEX-RN (if not already completed) or direct AHPRA skills assessment, English proficiency (IELTS 7.0 or OET Grade B), skills assessment by ANMAC, and state nursing board registration. JAI HR assists with ANMAC application coordination and employer introductions in Australian hospital networks.
