KMTC dispatches 11,000 transcripts as September admission exercise commences

By Peter Ochieng

The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) has dispatched around 11,000 transcripts to various Campuses across the country, for students who took their Final Qualifying Examinations (FQE) in January and February, this year.

The institution in a statement on Tuesday said the second batch of transcripts for students who took their FQEs in June and July, is being processed and will be dispatched in a month’s time.

KMTC Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dr. Kelly Oluoch emphasised the College’s commitment to implementing client suggestions, geared towards providing excellent services. He noted that devolving the issuance of transcripts will improve the turnaround time for delivering the service.

However, Dr. Oluoch clarified that the new service of issuing transcripts at Campuses applies only to students who took their FQEs in 2024.

“Students who graduated in 2023 or earlier will still need to collect their transcripts from the College headquarters in Nairobi.”

The move comes barely two weeks after the College pitched a tent at the 2024 Diaspora Job Fair for the Western Region, held at Mbale High School in Vihiga County, where graduates could apply for and receive their transcripts on the spot.

In the meantime, KMTC has commenced the admission process for the September 2024/2025 academic year across all our campuses.

Over 19,000 students are expected to join KMTC’s 84 Campuses and 5 satellites across the country. Dr. Oluoch expressed optimism that the College would continue to attract students from all over the country. He noted that the mid-level medical courses offered by the College continue to attract thousands of applicants.

"Our courses are in demand in the job market. We have students who qualified to join universities yet opted for our programs. Additionally, we have students who have graduated with a bachelor's degree but still reapply to join us," he said.

The CEO emphasised that the admission process will be seamless, thanks to the comprehensive preparations made by the College ahead of time.
