The Department of Computing and Informatics at Kinango Technical and Vocational College (KTVC) is at the forefront of digital skills training in Kwale County. We prepare graduates to thrive in Kenya's rapidly digitising economy by offering a progressive range of CBET programmes — from ICT Technician Level 4 (Craft Certificate) through to ICT Technician Level 6 (Diploma) — covering information communication technology, computer hardware, software, networking, database management, web technologies, cyber security and systems support.
All programmes are delivered under the national Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) framework, accredited by the Curriculum Development, Assessment and Certification Council (CDACC) and regulated by the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TVETA). Diploma-level (Level 6) programmes are examined by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC).
Kenya's digital economy — spanning e-government, fintech, telecommunications, media and the growing tech startup scene — demands a constant pipeline of qualified ICT professionals. KTVC's Computing department responds directly to this demand, providing graduates with market-ready technical skills. Students can track their academic progress through the Intellimis Academic Portal.
