A Diploma course takes 2 years in Kenya for one to complete coursework and graduate. However, there are diploma courses, especially those requiring technical skills that take up to 3 years.
Diploma courses in nursing, education, mathematics related courses, pharmacy and social science courses take two years. Those pursuing engineering courses sometimes take up to 3 years to complete.
To graduate faster, you need to go to colleges which experience less strikes and have good academic structures. Some of the best colleges for diploma courses include;
- Technical University of Kenya
- Kenya Institute of Mass Communication
- Kenya Medical Training College
- Kenya Institute of Management
- KASNEB
- Government owned Technical Training college for Education related courses
- Kenya School of Law
If your school experience strikes, you will take even 5 years to complete your diploma course. But in a conducive environment, coursework and project work will take one and half years.
