What is the HTI Admission Portal?
The HTI Admission Portal is the official online platform specifically designed for managing the admission process into public Health Training Institutions (HTIs) across Ghana. It is operated under the direct purview of the Ministry of Health (MoH). The HTI Admission Portal (also known as the Health Training Institutions Application Portal) allows prospective students to:

- Apply to nursing and midwifery schools online
- Track application status
- Receive admission notifications
General Admission Requirements for NMTC in Admission in Ghana
The general admission requirements for Nursing and Midwifery Training Colleges (NMTCs) in Ghana are set by the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Ghana (NMC). These requirements are broadly consistent across public health training institutions, though specific colleges might have slight variations in preferred elective subjects or aggregate cut-offs.
Typical requirements for Diploma programs (Registered General Nursing – RGN, Registered Midwifery – RM, Nurse Assistant Clinical – NAC, etc.):
I. For West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) Candidates:
- Age Limit: Typically between 16 and 35 years at the time of application. Some post-basic programs or mature student entry may have different age limits (e.g., up to 50 years for post-basic, 25+ for mature).
- Core Subjects: Credit passes (A1 – C6) in SIX (6) subjects overall. These must include:
- English Language
- Core Mathematics
- Integrated Science (or its equivalent)
- Elective Subjects: Credit passes (A1 – C6) in THREE (3) relevant elective subjects. These can be from:
- General Science: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Elective Mathematics. (Often preferred)
- General Arts: e.g., Literature in English, Government, History, Economics, Geography, French, Religious Studies.
- Home Economics: e.g., Food and Nutrition, Management in Living, General Knowledge in Art.
- General Agriculture: e.g., General Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, Crop Husbandry (often with Chemistry or Physics).
- Technical/Vocational subjects might also be considered if they include relevant science components.
- Aggregate Score: While the minimum grade for each subject is C6, there is usually an overall aggregate score requirement. This can vary by program and college but commonly ranges from 30 to 48 or better for WASSCE candidates, depending on the program (e.g., Diploma in General Nursing often requires a better aggregate than Nurse Assistant programs).
II. For Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSSCE) Candidates:
- Age Limit: Typically 16 to 35 years.
- Core Subjects: Pass grades (A – D) in SIX (6) subjects overall. These must include:
- English Language
- Core Mathematics
- Integrated Science
- Elective Subjects: Pass grades (A – D) in THREE (3) relevant elective subjects from the categories listed above.
- Aggregate Score: An overall aggregate score requirement is also in place, commonly around 24 to 30 or better for SSSCE candidates.
III. Additional General Requirements:
- No Combination of Results: Generally, applicants cannot combine WASSCE and SSSCE results. You must use results from a single sitting of either exam. Some institutions might permit combining results from different sittings of the same exam (e.g., two WASSCE certificates), but this needs to be confirmed with the specific college.
- Ghana Card: A valid Ghana Card is usually required for the application process.
- Digital Address: A Ghana Post Digital Address is often requested.
- Interview: Successful applicants who meet the initial academic requirements are usually invited for a competitive selection interview. This interview assesses personal integrity, dependability, communication skills, and suitability for the nursing/midwifery profession.
- Health History/Physical Examination: Admitted students may be required to complete a health history and physical examination.
- Online Application: All applications are done online through the HTI Admission Portal after purchasing an e-voucher from designated banks.
IV. For Post-Basic / Top-Up Programmes:
These are for already qualified auxiliary nurses (NAC/NAP) or diploma holders seeking to upgrade their qualifications. Requirements vary significantly by program but typically include:
- Relevant professional experience (e.g., 2-3 years of practice).
- Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) registration and valid PIN.
- Transcripts and certificates from previous nursing/midwifery training.
- Age limit may be higher (e.g., not more than 50 years).
