How fees work
Contact hours × the level's hourly fee × a delivery factor
Every course fee comes from the same rule, so you can see what the next step on your career path will cost before you take it.
Delivery factor: online × 0.85, blended × 1.00, at a centre × 1.15. Level 4 is taught live online at the Level 4 rate. Fees are rounded to the nearest KES 500, quoted in Kenya shillings and exclude VAT; USD at KES 130 per USD.
Your fee includes
Tuition, course materials and lab consumables, your first assessment attempt and your certificate, with an entry on the public register.
Start for less
Self-paced online Awareness courses cost a flat KES 4,500 for 8 hours or KES 8,500 for 16 hours, open to anyone.
Worked example
ELCT Diagnosis Technician, Level 2, blended, 80 hours: 80 × KES 1,900 = KES 152,000; KES 140,600 with early booking.
