Architecture & Building — Artisan (NITA Grade 3)

Artisan courses give learners hands-on trade skills examined by NITA at Grade 3 level. They are ideal for KCPE and KCSE leavers who want a practical, employable skill in the shortest time possible. Training is workshop- and project-based from the first week.

Trades Offered

• Building Technology (Masonry) — brick and block work, batching, plastering and setting out simple buildings.
• Plumbing — pipe work, fittings, sanitation and basic water system installation.

Learners who excel may progress to NITA Grade 2 and Grade 1 tests or to certificate level courses such as the Certificate in Tiling. Toolkits are provided in the workshops, and application fees for artisan courses are KES 500.
