Admissions
3What programmes does DTTI offer?
DTTI offers Short Courses, Certificate and Diploma programmes across 14 academic departments. Flagship programmes include the Certificate and Diploma in Theology (the heart of our calling as an institute of the African Divine Church), alongside Business Management, ICT, Graphic Design, Fashion and Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Catering and Health Records — examined by KNEC, NITA, CDACC and ICDL Africa.
What are the admission requirements?
For certificate programmes you need a KCSE mean grade of D (Plain) or equivalent; for diploma programmes a KCSE mean grade of C- (Minus) or a relevant certificate. Mature applicants with relevant work experience are welcome and are assessed individually through the RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) route.
How do I apply for admission?
You can apply online through the Admissions page of this website or collect an application form at any DTTI branch. Applications require your certificates, a copy of your national ID or birth certificate, two passport photographs and the non-refundable application fee of KES 500 for short courses, KES 1,000 for certificates and KES 1,500 for diplomas. Government-sponsored students can also apply through KUCCPS.
Exams
2How are examinations conducted?
Each programme combines continuous assessment (tests, assignments and projects) with end-of-term examinations. External examinations are administered by KNEC, NITA (trade tests Grade I-III) and CDACC (Levels 4-6). Selected assessments are taken online under secure conditions. Our Examination Regulations govern all assessments and guarantee fairness.
How do I get my results and certificate?
Provisional results are published on the student portal after each sitting. Certificates are issued after the Board of Examiners confirms results and you have cleared all fees and library obligations. Certified transcripts are available on request from the Registrar.
Fees
3How much are the tuition fees?
Short courses cost approximately KES 15,000, certificate programmes approximately KES 35,000 per academic year and diploma programmes approximately KES 45,000 per academic year, covering tuition, registration, library and ICT services. Fees may be paid per term and instalment plans are available for students with demonstrated need. Speak to the Finance Office for the exact structure of your programme.
