Why choose Annivas College

Seven answers to the question every applicant asks first.

Recognised programmes A TVETA-recognised institution. What you are examined in is examined to national standard, and the certificate says so.
Taught by people who have done it Practical, hands-on training from staff who have worked in the field they teach, not only read about it.
Study the way your life allows In person by day or evening, blended, or fully online. The award is the same whichever you pick.
Fees you can plan around Every structure is published, payable in instalments, and there are discounts worth asking the finance office about.
Equipment you will meet at work Workshops and computer labs kept current, because a skill learned on the wrong machine is learned twice.
Help finding the job Career support and placement help, with employers who come back to the College for the next intake of graduates.
A class worth sitting in Students from every county and every background, and a College that expects them to be treated that way.

Our mission and vision

Annivas College exists to be a prime hub for future-focused training — creativity, innovation and industry taught together, so that a graduate leaves with entrepreneurship, product design and digital skills that hold up in a local market and a global one.

The College's ambition is an institute that ignites innovation wherever its graduates go: minds empowered through advanced education, and measured by what they create rather than by what they sat through.

Innovate to Advance. That is the whole of it, and everything on the rest of this site is an attempt to be worth saying it.

What our students say

Printed with their permission, in their own words.

I came for a certificate and left able to run my own digital marketing agency. The tutors were people working in the industry, and it showed in what they asked of us.

S Sarah Johnson Digital Marketing, graduate

The projects were real problems, not exercises. I was ready for the junior developer job I got because I had already done the work once.

D David Ochieng Software Engineering, student

I formulate and sell my own skincare line now. The formulation training got me the product; the business units got me the customers.

G Grace Wanjiku Cosmetic Science, graduate

Questions the office answers all day

If yours is not here, the form at the foot of this page reaches somebody who can answer it.

What are the admission requirements?
A diploma needs a C- or above at KCSE. A craft certificate needs a D plain, and an artisan certificate is open at D- and below. Whichever you apply for, you register with a copy of your KCSE slip or certificate, a copy of your ID, birth certificate or passport, and two colour passport photographs.
How do I pay, and what does it cost to apply?
By M-Pesa to Paybill 247247, account 0766872295 — and if you apply on this site the application fee is paid inside the form itself and confirmed against your application automatically, so there is no message to forward and nothing to prove later. Bank transfer and payment at the finance office are accepted too.
Do you offer accommodation?
The College has no hostels of its own. There are partner hostels and apartments within reach of campus that give our students a discount, and student affairs will point you at the ones with room this intake.
Are there scholarships or discounts?
There are awards for academic merit, for financial need and for special talent, and some programmes carry an early-bird discount for the first twenty students to register. Ask the finance office before you pay, not after.
Can I transfer credit from another college?
Yes, from a recognised institution. Send your transcript and the course descriptions with your application and the academic board decides what it exempts you from — before you enrol, so you know what you are paying for.
