Carlile College

Carlile College is the training arm of Church Army Africa, an Anglican mission society, and sits in the Church Army compound on Jogoo Road in Makongeni ward, Makadara. It began in 1958 with eight students taking a basic course in evangelism and added a diploma in evangelism in 1995. Today it has two main parts: the School of Mission, which trains evangelists, chaplains and church workers (some programmes are validated by St. Paul's University, Limuru), and the Carlile Business School, a TVETA-registered college offering certificate and diploma courses in business management, human resource management, supply chain management, sales and marketing, secretarial studies, community development, ICT, electrical engineering, catering and food and beverage, plus KASNEB courses such as CPA and the Accounting Technician Diploma, electrical wireman grades and short computer courses. There is also a Centre for Continuing Education. The college library holds about 25,000 volumes with online access through the Kenya Library and Information Services Consortium, and learners can use an e-learning portal.
