KIPS Technical College

KIPS Technical College is a private technical and vocational college that has trained students in Nairobi since 1994. Its main campus is a two-storey building on Donholm Road in Donholm, and it also teaches from rented floors in city-centre buildings on Tom Mboya Street and Haile Selassie Avenue and from a campus at Kasarani. The college is registered with the TVET Authority and is an examination centre for KNEC, KASNEB, NITA and ICM, so students can take artisan, certificate and diploma papers from these bodies. Teaching is organised into schools of business, accounting, ICT, engineering, hospitality and tourism, journalism and media, community development, health and applied sciences, fashion and interior design, cosmetology, foreign languages and special needs education. Engineering trades include electrical installation, motor vehicle mechanics and plumbing, and the hospitality school has its own training kitchen and restaurant. The college lists computer laboratories, workshops, indoor and outdoor sports, student Wi-Fi, guidance and counselling and an office that finds industrial attachment places. Classes run full time, in the evening, at weekends and through distance learning.
