C Courses in KMTC -Intakes and how to apply

When it comes to applying for KMTC admission, the good thing is that its intakes are announced through the medial – through the newspaper, TV, radio and online on the portal.

That said, keep in mind that the intakes are in March and September  so keep a close eye on the media during and before those months to know when the applications are invited.

The other thing you need to remember is that you apply online via KUCCPS portal and not KMTC student’s application portal as it used to be.

C Courses in KMTC -Final words

Note that all the diploma courses take 3 years while the certificate courses take 2 to 2 1/2 years.

Also be aware that the courses are offered at selected campuses as you will see during application in the KUCCPS portal.

Of course you want to apply for a course only if you have met the stated qualifications including each cluster subjects’ grades.

The post Best C Courses in KMTC in 2025 [Over 15 courses you can do with C] appeared first on Kenya Education Guide.

After all, according to American Entrepreneur and Author Robert Kiyosaki, C students often end up employing A students

So below are the best Grade C courses in Kenya in our opinion:

Best Grade C courses in Kenya including marketable C minus courses in Kenya

Please note that with grade C, the best course you can start with is a Diploma- and nowadays, Diplomas in Technical courses such as Mechanical Engineering, Civil engineering, and Building Technology (etc.) are the best when it comes to marketability.

Some of these courses actually need just a C- so you can pursue many of them with just a C- (mean grade).

Also, there are other excellent courses for C grade students in Kenya including KMTC medical diplomas- a Diploma in Clinical Medicine needs a mean grade of C plain with a C plain in English/Kiswahili, Biology/Biological Sciences, and a C- in Chemistry/Physical Science.

Also, for a Diploma in Clinical Medicine, you need a C- in one of Mathematics or Physics/Physical Sciences.

Finally, you can consider doing a teaching course if you scored a C (for example, a diploma in ECDE requires a C plain -minimum).

Here is a full list of the courses we recommend for grade C holders including KUCCPS government-sponsored diploma courses:

Final thoughts

Overall, avoid business courses such as procurement (supply chain management), business management, accountancy, and the like since those are currently flooded – I am saying so because there are tons of business courses you can do with grade C in Kenya.

There’s no point doing a course that will need you to have connections to get a job- that’s how most business courses are.

In short, at the moment, we only recommend business courses if you have solid connections or you are planning to start your own business.

Keep in mind that Diploma in Education (Secondary school option) need a C+ and a C+ in your two preferred teaching subjects.

PS: Don’t forget to check out KUCCPS diploma courses (As mentioned, some of the best C courses in Kenya just need a C- and we have many of them in our KUCCPS diploma courses list).
