Entry Pathways
Certificate courses and bridging pathways
Certificate and bridging applicants should confirm the approved pathway, minimum academic record, and target progression before applying.
| Route | Typical route | Purpose | Before applying |
|---|---|---|---|
| Certificate | KCSE C- or equivalent for many certificate routes | Entry into foundational or professional training | Check the specific certificate course requirements |
| Bridging | Prior qualification plus a published bridging need | Qualification upgrade or subject preparation | Confirm that the bridging pathway is currently advertised |
Preparation
What certificate and bridging applicants should prepare
These routes are often programme-specific, so the published course record and intake notice matter more than a general summary.
- KCSE, O-Level, A-Level, or equivalent academic record.
- Prior certificate or diploma evidence where bridging depends on progression.
- Target programme checked against the course booklet.
- Approved bridging pathway confirmed before payment.
- Official intake and deadline verified through the application portal.
- Any school-specific instructions or attachments prepared.
