“The application fee has been slashed from Sh1,500 to Sh500 to boost access,” KUCCPS said in an earlier notice.
The extension and fee reduction aim to increase access to practical skills training, enabling young Kenyans to acquire qualifications that prepare them for careers in technical and vocational fields.
Candidates are encouraged to apply promptly to secure their placements in the September 2025 intake.
