What Next after KCSE? Search and Explore all Courses You Qualify for in Kenya

  • High School News

KCSE results are out, some candidates performed well and are assured of a place in a public university through JAB placement, but others didn’t quite achieve the grade they hoped for. 

To the second group, there’s a lot of stress and anxiety during this period regarding what the future holds for them. In the past, the sole solution was to repeat fourth form but today there are several viable options worth pursuing and equally good alternatives for the grade one has.

Here are few: 

  1. Take a bridging course that leads to placement in the course of your dreams. 
  2. Pursue a certificate in the course you love, later enroll in a diploma and finally apply to join an undergraduate program of your choice. 
  3. If one didn’t attain the cut off mark to pursue his/her desired course in that favourite university one can also settle for a similar course in a private university. 
  4. For those who attain the cut off points but do not want to wait at home to join University then there is several short certificate courses available and professional courses to enroll in. 
  5. Some candidates do get admitted to courses they do not like or in less preferred university. These can also settle for undergraduate programs offered in private institutions. 
  6. There’s a group that already want to study a particular course so they need to explore where it’s offered locally, benefits, costs, duration, mode of delivery among other things. 
  7. Then there’s a final group that want to study in a particular institution or in a certain geographical region near home, relatives, near their work place among other reasons. 

The above options represent a painful hustle that everyone has had to go through before securing a place for tertiary education. With little information scattered online one had to travel to the city or elsewhere, pick brochures, drop applications or inquire about all these options by visiting institutions not anymore. 

In this information age, a candidate, guardian or a parent needs a portal where they can search for and compare courses and programs offered in Universities, Colleges, TVETs and other institutions that offer tertiary education straight from a mobile device.
