TRAINING OF KENYA CERTIFICATE OF SECONDARY EDUCATION (KCSE) EXAMINERS
The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) will train examiners for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination between 18th and 24th August 2024.
The training fee is Ksh10,500 (Ten Thousand Five Hundred shillings) and will ONLY be made by the shortlisted applicants who will be notified through a text message (SMS) and the portal on how to make the payments.
The venue for training will be communicated to the qualified applicants later and the exercise will be strictly residential.
