College of Insurance

The College of Insurance trains people for careers in insurance, pensions and risk management. It was set up by the Insurance Training and Education Trust, a body formed by the insurance industry together with government, because overseas qualifications were costly and did not reflect local law and practice. Its main campus is on Red Cross Road in South C, about six kilometres from the city centre and bordering Nairobi National Park, with another campus in Mombasa. Courses run from the Certificate of Proficiency required of insurance agents to a craft certificate, a diploma in insurance and executive programmes, with short courses on top. The college is also an examination centre, and its campus has a library, an auditorium, conference rooms, accommodation, catering and a pool.
