The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has recognized the demand for TVET courses that align perfectly with CBC subjects, providing an alternative pathway complete with certification and the possibility of a license to teach in CBC schools. In this article, we explore the exciting world of TVET qualifications and the numerous benefits they offer.

Empowering Success: The Skills You Need for the Workplace

Public institutions such as National Polytechnics, Institutes of Technology, and Technical Training Institutes provide world-class education in a variety of disciplines. Once you have identified your course of interest, you can search for an institution that offers the program you desire. Remember, it’s crucial to register for examinations at KNEC-approved centers to ensure the authenticity and credibility of your qualifications.
