The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has begun accepting applications for public Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs) this year as part of its phased placement process for various educational institutions.
Some 13,823 spots are available across 36 public TTCs for the September 2025 intake into the Diploma in Primary and Secondary Teacher Education programmes. The application window will remain open until March 20, 2025.
Three colleges offer the Diploma in Secondary Teacher Education, with space for 2,735 students. The remaining 33 colleges offer the Diploma in Primary Teacher Education, with 11,088 vacancies.
To apply for primary TTCs, candidates must have a C (plain) in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) or an equivalent qualification. Those interested in the Diploma in Secondary Education must have a minimum of C+ in KCSE or an equivalent.

Applicants with qualifications other than KCSE should seek recognition from the Kenya National Qualifications Authority (KNQA) before applying.
KUCCPS is encouraging eligible Form Four leavers from the 2024 KCSE cohort and previous years to apply for these opportunities.
The application process is open to both Kenyan citizens and non-Kenyan residents. Applications should be submitted through the KUCCPS Student Portal, available on the KUCCPS website at www.kuccps.ac.ke.
KUCCPS has warned applicants to stay alert and avoid committing online fraud.
For those needing assistance, KUCCPS CEO Agnes Wahome encouraged applicants to visit the KUCCPS offices at ACK Garden House, located on 1st Ngong Avenue in Nairobi’s Community Area, any of the 58 Huduma Centres across the country, or any of the listed TTCs nearby.
