At the point of Nirvana consciousness ceases momentarily and starts again when you come out of the Phala Samapatti. At this point you see the the collapse and reforming of the links of Conditional Relations / Dependent Origination.
how then will we know (be conscious of) our achieving this “nirvana”?
You have seen the cessation of the 5 aggregates and start of it through full experiential knowledge of seeing the working of cause and effect.
How can we be “conscious” of this, if “consciousness” will no longer exist?
You need not be conscious about Nirvana but you insight into cause and effect will make a paradigm shift in your outlook about the 5 aggregates.
