Wajir County, Kenya – July 12, 2025:
The Eldas Teacher Training College in Wajir County has officially announced limited vacancies for its Diploma in Primary Teacher Education programme, targeting the September 2025 intake. This opportunity is available to qualified candidates across Kenya and is accessible through the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS).
According to the latest communication from the institution, applicants must have attained a minimum KCSE mean grade of C (plain) to be eligible for this highly competitive course. Interested individuals are urged to submit their applications online through the KUCCPS student portal at students.kuccps.net.
The placement service (KUCCPS) plays a central role in ensuring equitable placement of students in tertiary institutions across Kenya. Through the KUCCPS application portal, prospective teachers can conveniently apply to Eldas TTC and other colleges offering similar diploma programmes.
The KUCCPS portal allows seamless access to all current openings for government-sponsored programmes. Applicants can visit the KUCCPS student portal login page, enter their credentials via the KUCCPS login interface, and make course selections based on their qualifications and interests.
This year’s KUCCPS placement cycle is already underway, and Eldas TTC remains one of the few institutions in the northeastern region offering quality teacher education, especially in underserved counties such as Wajir. The diploma programme is designed to equip future primary school teachers with the professional skills and pedagogical knowledge required under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
Education stakeholders in the region have lauded this move, citing it as a significant step toward addressing the acute shortage of trained teachers in northern Kenya. Eldas TTC has previously produced graduates who have gone on to serve in both public and private schools countrywide.
Applicants are advised to act quickly, as the number of available slots is limited and are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The deadline for applications is set for July 18, 2025, although slots may fill up earlier due to high demand.
To begin the application process, visit the official KUCCPS student portal login page. For detailed instructions and real-time updates, candidates can also contact KUCCPS through their official platforms, including kuccps.ac.ke.
For those who meet the entry requirements, this diploma presents a chance to begin a fulfilling career in the education sector — right from Wajir County to schools across Kenya. Start your teaching journey today through the KUCCPS application portal and secure your slot at Eldas Teacher Training College before the window closes.
