Why JobLabs

Built for nurses, by editors who read the sources.

Every chapter is anchored to its NMC/NICE/NHS source. Every quiz tests recall against the chapter. No fluff, no generic AI output, no signup.

Sourced, not hallucinated.

Every numerical claim (£120, 450 hours, 35 CPD hours) links to the NMC/NICE/NHS document it came from. 200+ source links across the course. No AI improvisation.

End-of-chapter quizzes.

399+ scenario-based MCQs with instant feedback and explanation. Retake any time. Active recall, not passive reading.

Resume where you left off.

Every chapter visit saves a bookmark locally. Land on the course later and we'll show you exactly where to pick up. No account needed.

Free forever, no signup.

One full course is live: the NMC Revalidation Guide for UK nurses, midwives and nursing associates (100 chapters with quizzes). Two more are in production for 2026: UK NHS Interview Prep and UK Healthcare CV Writing.

Where do I start the NMC Revalidation course?

Start with Chapter 1: "What Is NMC Revalidation? The 2026 Guide". The course is sequential — each chapter has a "Next" button at the bottom and a progress bar showing where you are in the 100-chapter sequence.

How long does the NMC course take to read?

Around 6 hours end-to-end if read sequentially. Most readers spread it across 1-2 weeks, working through one Part at a time (8 Parts in total). Each chapter is 5-8 minutes and ends with a 3-5 question quiz.

Do I have to read in order?
