and can change your life regardless of where you are in life,

regardless of where you are in your career.

My first recommended short course and this is for people who want

to go and work abroad. Many of you are asking which courses can I do to be

able to work abroad?

Top 8 Best Short Courses in Kenya That Are Highly Marketable

1.German Language Courses

Please learn German. You see right now Germany has what we call the opportunity

cut and in the opportunity cut they have opened their job market to immigrants

from so many countries including Kenya.

For example, someone who has done:

• caregiving
• financing assistant
• IT

There are so many opportunities there. I believe there’s a video

we are doing that has a list of courses to work abroad from Kenya,

Those qualifications that are acceptable to work in Germany under the opportunity.

Just subscribe so that you don’t miss out.

Now what we are saying is that take German because all these opportunities

the key qualification is:

• You must be able to speak good German
• Germa level should at least be at the B2 level

So, if you are dreaming of going out there in Germany specifically I

recommend German. You stand a chance of going to Germany if you have the right

qualification because there is that kind of an arrangement between Kenya and Germany.

So German is one of the best language short courses that you can do right now.

Do it thank me later.

The other short professional courses in Kenya that I am recommending right now, this is for those who are working and maybe they pay for promotion or even

those who are just getting their feet into the job market is:

2. AI

People do not know how to use AI. That is the truth.

We just go to Chart GPT and these other AI tools and they write some

funny prompts. So, they end up getting some funny results.

Anybody who is able to use the AI tools the right way right now are in huge

demand.

So, one way of getting that promotion, one way of remaining relevant

in the job market where you are working or even one way of getting an extra

advantage over the competition when you are looking for work is perfecting your

AI skills and you can couple that with machine learning. So, learn the basics in the AI courses in Kenya is what makes the difference when it comes to getting shortlisted and when it comes

to getting your first job.

Short course number three that I recommend and this one is

really in demand.

3. Digital marketing

We have every other business looking for ways of reaching

the millions of people who have migrated online. Customers online even you are

watching this from the internet. So, what is happening is we don’t have a lot

of people who really have mastered digital marketing the way it should be.

My background is in IT, and I’ve done quite a bit of digital marketing and I

know because I’ve been there. There’s a huge shortage of these people and not

just in Kenya even out there.

So, if you’re looking for a course that can

open for you doors in so many places including starting your own online side

hustle, giving you full-time employment because we have organizations employing

digital marketers full time or even becoming a freelancer who is taking side

project side gigs and working on them at night because maybe during the day you

are working.

Digital marketing course Kenya could be the real deal. And let me tell you, if

you have done sales and marketing, and you are really serious about maximizing

that qualification, getting the most of that career, make sure that you master

digital marketing. The point is just learn digital marketing. Whichever route

you take is one of the most in demand skills right now.

Now I want to recommend about four most marketable skills in Kenya

that I believe could give you some good cash. You see

those people who are looking for a short course they can do and they want

something that they can start earning from as soon as possible. These short

courses are some of the most in demand out there. When you talk about selling

that as a skill or hustling with it.

So, if you’re looking for a short course after form four that you can do

so that it starts paying you as soon as possible then I would recommend

you try this, and this includes fresh form four leavers who are looking for a

short course they can do right now so that they’re not going to be block when

they go to college or to university.  I recommend that you try any

of these short courses after form four.

the first one is:

4. Barista

5. Nail and lash tech

6. Video editing

Neil and lash technician, especially for Gen Zs. I think this is one that you

can make quick money from your colleagues at the university, from your

colleagues at the college. And then video editing course in Kenya.

I wish I can show you the number of video editing jobs

that I keep seeing and people actually struggling to have them filled

especially out there not in Kenya, mostly out there. So, video editing, even if you’re going

to teach yourself is one that is a lot in demand because videos are being posted on the

internet every day and they need to be edited perfectly.

So, if you’re looking for highly marketable courses in Kenya

that you can monetize very fast, one that you learn is;

• mixology
• barista
• video editing

And that brings me to the conclusion of my recommended

list of the Top 8 Best Short Courses in Kenya That Are Highly Marketable and can do

right now in Kenya depending on what your goals are. Remember the most

important thing is to know is;

Why am I doing this short course?

1. Do I want to monetize?
2. Do I want something that can give me a promotion?
3. Do I want something that will make me more relevant in my job place?
4. Do I want something that can make me employable?

Something that will take me ahead of the competition. So, make the right decision

and I wish you all the best.

PS: If you are interested in watching the video version of this post then here is the link.

The post Top 8 Best Short Courses in Kenya That Are Highly Marketable appeared first on Kenya Education Guide.

Remember that there are several ‘types’ of certificate courses in Kenya:

KUCCPS certificate courses

These are typically examined by KNEC. Here we have artisan certificate courses (Needs a D plus and above) and craft certificate courses (which you can do with any grade from D plain and below)

CDACC certificate courses in Kenya

These are typically examined by TVET CDACC (and they go in levels).

For starters, TVET CDACC is Technical and Vocational Education and Training Curriculum Development, Assessment and Certification Council in full and is a new examination body whose main mandate is to examine CBET courses (which are aligned to the new CDC education system)

CBET= Competency Based Education & Training

Certificate courses in Universities in Kenya

These are offered by various universities in Kenya, mainly as a bridge to whatever Diploma course you may want to pursue.

NITA Certificate courses in Kenya

These are examined by NITA (National Industrial Training Authority)

KASNEB Certificate courses

KASNEB certificate courses are examined by KASNEB (Kenya National Accountants and Secretaries National Examination Board)

So, yeah this is a comprehensive list of certificate courses in Kenya and actually includes short certificate courses in Kenya (marketable short courses in Kenya) and I hope that it will help you make an informed decision.

As always, I encourage you to progress to at least the Diploma level of whatever certificate course you take because the world out there is super competitive and I have seen that a lot of employers (if your goal is to get employed) prefer diplomas.
