KMTC courses now available for application via KUCCPS portal
By K24 Editorial, July 22, 2023Students 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 July 21 with 30 KMTC programmes available for application.
KUCCPS Chief Executive Officer Mercy Wahome has said the programmes 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.
“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 said the application is open to individuals who have completed the KCSE examination between the years 2013 and 2022.
Applicants can access the list of all the available programmes in the 83 KMTC campuses countrywide, including the minimum subject requirements, in the KUCCPS student portal.
According to Wahome, the inclusion of KMTC within the KUCCPS fold has expanded the placement service’s scope, enabling them to allocate students to degree, diploma, certificate, and artisan courses in a total of 289 public training institutions and 30 private universities across Kenya.
She also said that providing the KMTC courses on the KUCCPS platform will ensure equity, fairness and balanced access to the training opportunities.
Similarly, KUCCPS has a database of the KCSE examination results of all the potential applicants hence does not require applicants to provide their results.
Interested candidates must submit their applications before the deadline on August 4.
Meanwhile, the deadline for the ongoing application for placement to diploma programmes in primary Teacher Training Colleges has also been extended to August 4.
