Frequently asked questions
What is the DHA exam like?▾
For most nursing and allied health titles, DHA’s Prometric exam is a computer-based multiple-choice test, generally around 150 questions with no negative marking. The exact format depends on your professional title — we confirm the specifics for your case during your eligibility check.
How much does a DHA licence cost from India, all in?▾
As of August 2026 the individual DHA charges are: DataFlow verification AED 990, the Prometric exam USD 288, and the eligibility application AED 220 — roughly AED 2,270 in total, since the exam is billed in US dollars. These are paid directly to those bodies, separate from Zlado’s fee. All amounts are subject to change by DHA and DataFlow, so we confirm the current figures when we start your case.
What is DataFlow, and how long does verification take?▾
DataFlow is the primary source verification service DHA requires — it directly confirms your degree and experience with the issuing institutions. It typically takes a few weeks, and we guide you through submitting a complete, accurate DataFlow application to avoid delays.
What’s the eligibility criteria for a DHA licence?▾
It depends on your profession, but generally you need a recognised nursing or allied health qualification plus a minimum number of years of relevant clinical experience. We check your specific qualification and experience against DHA’s category system in a free eligibility check.
How long is a DHA eligibility letter valid?▾
DHA’s eligibility letter is valid for a limited period after issue — we confirm the current validity window and make sure your timeline for exams and licensing fits within it.
