Government Flags College and Warns Public About 3 Risky Courses

The Kenyan government, through the Nursing Council of Kenya (NCK), has issued a strong warning to the public against joining nursing courses at the African International Technical College.

In an official statement released on Friday, April 18, the NCK raised the alarm, saying the college is pretending to offer nursing programs without getting the required approval from the Council.

This move, according to the Council, is illegal and goes against the law as stated in Section 21 of the Nurses and Midwives Act.

The Act clearly says that anyone offering nursing training without the Council’s approval is committing an offence. Those found guilty risk facing a fine of up to Ksh500,000, jail time of up to two years, or both.

“We have received reports that African International Technical College is advertising and pretending to provide nursing-related training without our authorization,” the Council’s statement read.

In the same announcement, the Council also raised concerns about three nursing-related courses that are not approved but are being offered by some institutions.

These courses are: Nurse Aid, Nursing Assistant, and Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA). The Council emphasized that these courses are not recognized and warned students to be very cautious.

As a result of these concerns, NCK is advising parents, students, and guardians to be alert and double-check the accreditation of any college or university before enrolling in any nursing or midwifery program.

To help with this, the Council has made a list of officially approved institutions and programs available on its website at nckenya.com/approved-training-institutions.

This warning from the NCK comes just two days after the National Assembly’s Education Committee raised alarm over the growing number of unaccredited institutions across the country.

The committee highlighted serious concerns about the quality of higher education in Kenya and the risks posed by illegal colleges and universities.

According to findings presented by the Commission for University Education (CUE), at least 15 institutions operating without proper accreditation have been discovered in Kenya.

These rogue institutions are reportedly awarding degrees that are not legally recognized.

Members of Parliament have now demanded clear answers from CUE Chairman Chacha Nyaigotti and Commission Secretary Mike Kuria regarding what actions are being taken to tackle this growing problem.

Lawmakers want assurance that students will be protected from being misled and that quality standards in education will be upheld.

In his response, Mike Kuria explained that the Commission is working closely with law enforcement agencies to crack down on these illegal operations. He confirmed that 15 unaccredited institutions have already been identified and flagged.

Additionally, there are currently two ongoing court cases involving individuals accused of issuing fake degree certificates.

The government’s warning serves as a reminder to the public to always do proper research and ensure they only join officially approved institutions. This is the only way to guarantee the quality and validity of their qualifications in the future.
