“The programs which are at diploma and certificate levels, include community health nursing, mental health and psychiatry, midwifery, radiography and imaging, medical laboratory sciences, occupational therapy, optometry, pharmacy, physiotherapy, and public health, among others,” Wahome said.

“This is a milestone because KMTC and KUCCPS have a common objective of enhancing access to quality higher education and training opportunities in a manner that is equitable to all Kenyans,” Wahome said in a statement.

She added that the application targets individuals who completed the KCSE examination from the year 2013 to 2022 and the deadline for the applications will be on August 4, 2023.

According to Wahome, providing KMTC courses on the KUCCPS platform will ensure equity, fairness, and balanced access to training opportunities. The KUCCPS portal has also integrated a database of the KCSE examination results of all the potential applicants hence, does not require applicants to provide their results.

“Interested applicants can access the list of all the available programs in the 83 KMTC campuses countrywide, including the minimum subject requirements, in the KUCCPS Student’s Portal, students.kuccps.net,” she said.
