Narrative:
My student made a stabilized approach to runway xx at ZZZ with landing gears 3 green verified. During the landing phase; the main wheels touched the runway without any problems; but as the nose gear came down and made contact with the runway; the nose gear down-indicator green light turned red along with the gear pump warning annunciator going off on the pfd. The next event was an immediate collapse of the nose gear. The student's landing was not a hard landing as it may sometimes be during training operations. Given that the landing itself was not any harder than normal landings (seeing that the ELT did not activate); I believe it may have had something to do with a mechanical failure. There was not much we could have done to prevent this situation as the nose gear immediately dropped after contact with the runway; leaving no time to execute a go-around or preventative action.
