KMTC announces sponsored training opportunities
The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC), in collaboration with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and the County Government of Turkana, has announced fully sponsored training opportunities for individuals seeking to upgrade their qualifications in Community Health Nursing.
In a statement on Monday, September 29, KMTC CEO Kelly Oluoch said the program, set to commence in September for the 2025/2026 academic year, targets both the local community in Turkana County and the refugee community in Kakuma and Kalobeyei Refugee Camps.
The scholarship will cover full tuition for all successful applicants, with training scheduled to take place at KMTC’s Lodwar Campus.
The course being offered is the Upgrading Diploma in Community Health Nursing (Distance Learning), which will run for a period of two years.
To qualify for the program, applicants must meet several mandatory requirements, including holding a Certificate in Community Health Nursing.
They must also have at least two years of post-certificate work experience, and be registered by the Nursing Council of Kenya (NCK).
In addition, applicants must either be from Turkana County or from the Kakuma or Kalobeyei Refugee Camps.
Those applying must also present a letter of introduction from the area Chief, in the case of local applicants, or from a manager or UNHCR official for those from the refugee camps.
Applications are required to be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of KMTC through the KMTC online application portal, with the deadline set for October 9, 2025.
The college emphasized that only applications submitted through the official portal will be considered.
