The training fee is Ten Thousand Five Hundred shillings (Ksh 10,500.00) and will ONLY be made by the shortlisted applicants who will be notified on how to make the payment through a text message (SMS) and via the application portal.
College tutors deployed from secondary schools and tutors handling special needs trainees (Braille and Hearing Impaired) are highly encouraged to apply.
The training will be a blend of online and residential training. Access to the online training material, dates and the venue for the residential training will be communicated to the shortlisted trainees at a later date.
