Courses offered by the leading health training college the Kenya Medical Training college, KMTC, have turned out to be the most preferred by students. Undoubtedly, health courses are among the most marketable in Kenya owing to their high rate of employability.
One of the reasons barring students from pursuing these bankable courses offered by KMTC is minimum requirements set by the college. In this article, am going to take you through how these requirements should not be a stumbling block to your career of choice.
The truth is that Kenya Medical Training college, KMTC, does not offer bridging courses to boost the grades for subjects that did not meet the required threshold in any of its campuses. However, the college accepts bridging certificates for KCSE that have been issued by Kenya National Examination Council(KNEC).
It is important to note that a bridging course is a short course that students pursue to re-sit the subject they failed in KCSE exams. The ultimate aim is to improve your grade and meet the minimum college entry requirement for a course of your choice.
Bridging of courses provide a second opportunity for learners to relearn the subjects, retake the exams, and eventually land a place in higher learning institutions.
Bridging courses in Kenya have different requirements and take different time frames to complete. The most popular programmes are Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and English. Several learners have benefitted from this because low high school grades do not mark the end of their dream of pursuing a college course.
On average a bridging course take a duration of six months, and students can study full-time, part-time, or during weekends.
