What this fee  structure for Meru Technical Training Institute doesn’t include:

1. Exam fees (final summative exam fee)– the amount you will pay depends on the course you’re pursuing and module level.
2. Industrial attachment /Training fee- you will need to go for attachment/industrial training out there and there’s a small fee you will pay for this.
3. Accommodation (Hostel fee)- The college owned hostels go at Kshs.5500.00 per term (without meals) but you can only get a chance to board within the college if you report very early (they give them out on first come first serve basis). Outside hostels you pay slightly more.
4. Personal money- you need some pocket cash to survive on too. Don’t you?

I hope you know that your HELB loan and /or scholarship will reduce the total amount that you should pay once it has been approved- so don’t just pay everything at once if you have also applied for loans and scholarship….again the finance office can advise you properly here.
