What next after KCSE?
Deciding a career path after KCSE is tough. The pressure to choose the 'right' course, the fear of the unknown, and what to do with your free time... we get it.
THE POST-KCSE DILEMMA
Does This Sound Familiar?
“What if I pick the wrong course?”
The fear of wasting four years on a path that isn't right for you is real. What if you could know the reality of a course before you even apply?
“I'm not sure what I'm passionate about.”
You don't have to commit to a 4-year degree to find your passion. What if you could test-drive a career with a short, affordable course?
“How will my parents even afford this?”
The new funding model is confusing, and the costs are scary. What if you had a clear guide to HELB, scholarships, and bursaries?
