COMPANY MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL HAD REPLACED THE NOSE LANDING GEAR ASSY AND HAD CONDUCTED RETRACTION TESTS PRIOR TO RELEASING THE ACFT FOR FLT. AFTER TAKEOFF THE LNDG GEAR WAS RETRACTED AND THE FLT WAS CONDUCTED WITHOUT INCIDENT UNTIL, UPON ENTERING THE TRAFFIC PATTERN FOR LANDING, THE NOSE GEAR FAILED TO EXTEND. THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT ELECTED TO LAND WITH THE MAIN LANDING GEARS ONLY EXTENDED. THE LEFT ENGINE AND PROPELLER WERE SECURED WHILE ON FINAL APPROACH FOR THE LANDING.
