CouncilPrep (an Essedex Solutions company) was founded with a single mission: to provide nursing students with an unparalleled, stress-free path to passing the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria CBT on their very first attempt.

The journey of CouncilPrep, an Essedex Solutions subsidiary, began when our founders realized that the traditional NMCN CBT preparation tools were incredibly outdated. Students were forced to study using non-legible PDFs and clunky interfaces that looked nothing like the actual exam, leading to unnecessary anxiety on test day.
We set out to build something different. We wanted to create a platform that combined educational psychology with modern, highly responsive technology. By simulating the exact environment of the NMCN CBT — right down to the question format, number of questions per exam and button placements — we ensure that our students feel completely at home when taking the real test.
Today, CouncilPrep serves thousands of nursing students across Nigeria and abroad. We don't just provide questions; we provide detailed rationales, personalized study planners, and a readiness predictor that takes the guesswork out of your exam preparation.
These principles guide everything we do, from writing a single question rationale to designing our platform architecture.
Every feature we build is designed to reduce anxiety and increase confidence.
Our questions are written and vetted by practicing RNs and nursing educators.
We constantly update our question bank to match the latest NMCN CBT standards and curriculum updates.
