HOW TO REGISTER A NEW SCHOOL OR INSTITUTION AS A KNEC EXAMINATION CENTRE: CONDITIONS AND PROCEDURE

REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTRATION OF KNEC EXAMINATION CENTRES

Any new institution that wishes to register candidates for the Kenya National Examinations Council must meet the following criteria:

Submit a valid certificate of registration issued by the Ministry of Education in the case of a school seeking to register candidates for KCSE and KCPE exams and Technical Education Centres.
In the case of Business and Technical examination centres, the institution must submit a report from the Technical, Vocational Education and Training Authority (TVETA).
Complete and submit an application form for the registration of a new examination centre available on the following official KNEC website: https://www.knec.ac.ke/

Submit a questionnaire duly filled by the sub-County Director of Education or KNEC after a thorough inspection of the proposed examination centre. The questionnaire should be accompanied by a report on the recommendations on the status of the new institution.
In case an examination centre relocates to new premises it must apply to KNEC for re-inspection.

N/B: The Kenya National Examinations Council has the right to combine examination centres for easier administration of exams and security purposes.

The minimum candidature that an examination centre can present for registration is as follows: KCPE and KCSE- at least 15 candidates Business, Technical and Teacher Education- at least 10 candidates Foreign exams- at least 15 candidates

Examination centres which present fewer candidates than the required minimum are thus not recognized as examination centres. Consequently, they should be hosted by other centres.

However, prisons and institutions with special needs are exempted from the total number of candidature rule.

All KNEC examination centres are required to log into the KNEC Registration Portal: https://www.knec-portal.ac.ke/ for specific examination and fill the candidate’s details using the centre or school registration password.
