KMTC Issues Lifeline Guidelines to Applicants Who Missed September Intake.
The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) has advised applicants who were not selected for the September 2025 intake to consider other available courses. In a statement issued on Tuesday, August 5, the institution highlighted options such as Higher Diplomas, Upgrading Diplomas, and Short Courses.
“If you didn’t secure a place for the September intake, you may apply for our Higher Diploma, Upgrading Diploma, or Short Courses,” the announcement stated.
Unlike certificate and diploma programmes, which are processed through the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS), these three options can be applied for directly via the KMTC website.
