About the College

A TVETA-recognised college with one measure of itself: what its graduates can do on the first day of work.

Annivas College was founded in Nairobi to answer a shortage the country felt long before anybody wrote it down: employers with work to give out and too few people trained to take it. The College teaches into that gap and is judged on it.

Teaching is organised into six schools, and each school answers for the programmes it runs — the syllabus, the examinations, and the workshops the practical units are taught in. A programme is approved before it is advertised, so a programme listed on this site is a programme running.

Examinations are set, marked and moderated inside the College before any result is released, and a released result is what appears on the transcript. Nothing is published out of a mark sheet that is still open.

Students carry their own record. Registration, attendance, coursework, results and the fee statement are all readable from the student portal, and the College's own staff read that same record rather than a copy of it.

Our core values

Seven, and the College is willing to be held to them.

Innovation Turning ideas into innovations — creative thinking and problem solving, practised until it is a habit.

Nurture Cultivating talent. Somebody who arrives unsure of themselves is somebody the College has work to do for.

Skill Excellence World-class skills through rigorous, hands-on training, marked against what the job actually demands.

Professionalism High standards and accountability, in the classroom and in every office of the College.

Impact Education that changes what a person can do, locally and beyond.

Resilience Adaptability, determination and persistence — taught, because they can be.

Empower Learners who leave as change makers and confident contributors, not as holders of a certificate.

Our journey

A young college, and honest about it.

August 2025 The College is founded

Opened in Nairobi to put quality training within reach of people the existing colleges were pricing out.

September 2025 TVETA accreditation pursued

The College takes up recognition as a TVET provider, so that what it examines counts outside its own walls.

October 2025 The first course lineup is designed

Digital marketing, software engineering and healthcare — chosen because employers were asking for them by name.

October 2025 Online learning begins

Work starts on teaching online, so that a student in another county is not a student the College has to turn away.

November 2025 AI and machine learning added

Certificate and diploma programmes in artificial intelligence join the School of Engineering and Technology.
