Methodology: A total of n=216 (84.7%) responses (second-year and third-year diploma in nursing programs students) were received out of a target population of N=255 (100%) respondents while a total of n=10 (90.9%) responses (nurse educators) were received out of a target population of N=11(100%) respondents. Data was collected through an onlineadministered questionnaire to nursing students and nurse educators. In addition, key informant
interviews were used to collect qualitative data from nurse educators. Data was cleaned coded, and entered into the scientific package for social sciences (SPSS) software vs. 27. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to interpret findings. Results: Bivariate correlation, showed a strong positive correlation coefficient of 0.898 and 0.640 for nurse educators and students respectively, and are all statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: This study concluded that training institutional factors positively influence implementation of curriculum on EmONC in Meru and Tharakanithi County. Based on the
