“The deadline for Preservice courses has been extended to March 4, 2024 while Upgrading, Higher Diploma, and Short Courses applications will remain open until the required number of applicants is achieved on a course-by-course basis” she said.

In-service students are expected to report on March 12, 2024.

“Subsequently, the College will issue admission letters to this cohort, with an anticipated reporting date of March 12th, 2024. The reporting date for subsequently placed students will be as per the instructions provided in their admission letters” she added.

Preservice applications are through the KUCCPS portal at http://student.kuccps.net while Inservice applications are via the KMTC admissions portal at http://admissions.kmtc.ac.ke.
