The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has reopened its portal for applications to 28 Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) courses for the September intake.

In a notice issued on Wednesday, July 23, KMTC revealed that 28 courses remained after applications closed on July 7. They are now inviting prospective students to enrol on these courses.

"Attention future health heroes, the KUCCPS Portal is now open for KMTC Course Applications! Your journey to becoming a healthcare professional starts here," the notice read.

The application for these courses will conclude in six days.

Of the 28 courses, nine are certificate courses, while the other 19 are diploma courses, and candidates can apply for them at the KUCCPS students' portal, students.kuccps.net. 

The certificate courses include Medical Engineering, Orthopaedic Trauma Medicine, Health Insurance Management, Health Records and Information Technology, Community Health Assistant, Public Health, Nutrition and Dietetics, Medical Emergency Technician and Kenya Enrolled Community Health Nursing.

Diploma courses are far more diversified, with most of the remaining certificate courses also available as diplomas.

Other diploma courses available include Radiography and Imaging, Medical Laboratory Sciences, Occupational Therapy, Community Oral Health, Optometry and Health Counselling, among others.

This update comes barely a week after KUCCPS released the placement results for applications to the KMTC September 2025 intake.

On July 18, the placement service urged applicants to log into their KUCCPS portal to check the status of their applications. It followed an application exercise that invited students to apply for the intake, which took place for two weeks between June 23 and July 7.

To check the status of their application, students were advised to log into the KUCCPS students portal, after which they would be prompted to enter their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) index number, KCSE year, and password.

They were asked to use the KCPE index number or birth certificate number for the password to log in, after which they should be able to view their placement status and see if they have been placed into a KMTC program.
