BUSTED! Zimbabwean Nurse Using Photoshopped Cambridge Certificate to Work in The UK, Caught (Photo)


A Zimbabwean nurse has been disgraced after she was caught using a photoshopped Cambridge University qualification certificate working as a nurse in the United Kingdom.

According to CourtNewsUk, Chenesai Kutsirayi created a fake certificate to prove she had passed exams awarded by the prestigious university.


The University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate provides education assessments to overseas students, the Nursing and Midwifery Council was told.

However, the plan has now backfired. She was exposed after experts found series of errors in the Zimbabwean Ministry of Education certificate.

The experts discovered that fonts were incorrect, lines were spaced wrongly and part of her school's name was missing.

Kutsirayi tried to back up her certificate with a fake letter of recommendation from her former headmistress. Giving evidence over the phone from Zimbabwe, the headmistress told the hearing that she did not write the letter and the signature was not hers.

Michael Bowerman, an expert from Cambridge International Examinations, told the hearing:
"All certificates for the whole world are printed at a secure facility in Cambridge and sent by air mail.
"This is one of the things we see - is people using Photoshop."
 An NMC panel found that Kutsirayi's actions amount to misconduct and that her fitness to practice was currently impaired.

Panel Chair Trevor Spires said: 'We found that Mrs Kutsirayi's behaviour fell far short of the conduct and standards expected of a nurse and was serious to amount to misconduct.
‘The seriousness of the misconduct, in particular the dishonesty, aligned to a complete lack of insight and remorse or evidence of remediation, led us to conclude that there remains a significant risk of repetition of the behaviour.'
