The 'DC entry test' is (a now obsolete) test that students could take when applying for the Diploma course in nursing - the old project 2000, and ODA/ODP courses as an alternative to GCSEs. Named after its creator Professor Dennis Child, it was psychometric in nature and covered maths, English and IQ skills.

It proved to be a very popular, with thousands of our distance learning students from all over the world taking the test.

Organised by the old UKCC, now the NMC, it was an accepted route into nursing by many schools of nursing including the University of Chester and Edgehill University (Aintree Hospitals NHS Trust).

It was finally abolished by the government in favour of NVQs.
