Students across Kenya have a fresh opportunity to pursue careers in the health sector as the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS), in collaboration with the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC), announces an immediate intake for diploma and certificate programmes.
According to the announcement, qualified applicants can now apply for a wide range of KMTC courses through the KUCCPS student portal. The initiative is aimed at expanding access to medical training and addressing the growing demand for skilled healthcare professionals in the country.
KMTC, a leading public institution in medical training, offers programmes in disciplines such as nursing, clinical medicine, pharmacy, laboratory sciences, and community health. These courses are designed to equip learners with practical skills and knowledge needed to serve in hospitals, clinics, and community health settings.
The KUCCPS portal provides a streamlined process for applicants to explore available programmes, review minimum entry requirements, and submit their applications online. This digital approach ensures transparency and convenience for students nationwide.
Education stakeholders have welcomed the move, noting that immediate intakes create flexible learning pathways for students who may have missed earlier admission cycles. It also provides a timely opportunity for school leavers and those seeking career changes to join the healthcare field without waiting for the next academic year.
Interested candidates are encouraged to visit the KUCCPS student portal to view the full list of available KMTC programmes and make their applications. Due to high demand for medical courses, early application is strongly advised.
Applicants should also ensure they meet the specific course requirements and provide accurate information during the application process to avoid disqualification.
The deadline for submission of applications is May 6, 2026. After this date, the portal will close, and no further applications will be accepted for the current intake.
With the healthcare sector continuing to grow, this intake presents a valuable opportunity for aspiring medical professionals to take the first step toward a rewarding and impactful career.
