NAIROBI, Kenya – The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has opened its online portal for students seeking admission to the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC), giving aspiring health professionals two weeks to apply.
The application window, which began on October 1, will close on October 14, 2025, and covers a wide range of certificate, diploma, and higher diploma programmes offered across KMTC campuses nationwide.
In a statement, KUCCPS said the courses are designed to prepare students for careers in Kenya’s expanding healthcare sector and to support the government’s universal health coverage agenda.

Diploma options include Medical Laboratory Sciences, Radiography and Imaging, Physiotherapy, Pharmacy, Community Health, Mortuary Science, Speech and Language Therapy, and Occupational Therapy, among others.
Students applying for certificate courses must have a minimum KCSE grade of C- with specific subject qualifications, while diploma programmes require at least a C with relevant cluster subjects.
