Kenya School of Revenue Administration (KESRA) – Mombasa Campus

The Mombasa campus of the Kenya School of Revenue Administration is the training arm of the Kenya Revenue Authority on the coast, set in Nyali a short drive from the port of Kilindini and the airport. Its roots go back to the Customs Training Centre in Mombasa, which was merged with the income tax and VAT training schools when KRA was formed in 1995; the school took the KESRA name in 2012. The campus also serves as the World Customs Organization's Regional Training Centre for Kenya, and customs officers from Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania and South Sudan have trained there. Courses are open to the public as well as to revenue staff and run on a non-residential basis: certificates in customs administration, tax administration and freight forwarding, diplomas in tax and customs administration, postgraduate diplomas and a master's degree in tax and customs administration. Being close to working customs and border operations gives trainees practical exposure alongside classroom study.
