Students seeking to join the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) can now apply through the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) portal.
The KUCCPS portal opened on Saturday, with 30 KMTC programmes available for applications.
The programmes, which are diploma and certificate levels, invoice Community Health Nursing, Mental Health and Psychiatry, Midwifery, Radiography and Imaging, Medical Laboratory Sciences, Occupational Therapy, Optometry, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy as well as Public Health among others.
The application targets individuals who completed KCSE examination from the test 2013 to 2022. The dateline for the application will be on August 4, 2023.
“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,” said KUCCPS Chief Executive Officer Agnes Mercy Wahome.
“Providing the KMTC course on the KUCCPS platform will ensure equity, fairness and balanced access to the training opportunities,” she added.
In addition, KUCCPS has a data base 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 Students Portal.
With the entry of KMTC, the Placement Service now places students on degree, diploma, certificates and artisan courses in 289 public training institutions and 30 private universities in Kenya.
Meanwhile, the deadline for the ongoing application for placement to diploma programmes in primary Teacher Training Colleges had been extended to August 4, 2023.
“All other application guidelines remain as previously advertised,” KUCCPS said.
Successful applicants will be joining various KMTC campuses across the country in September.
