TSC Replacement Vacancies 2025: Necessary Documents for Teacher Recruitment Interviews
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has provided clear instructions regarding the documents candidates must bring to teacher recruitment interviews.
To ensure a transparent and merit-based recruitment process, candidates are required to present both original and clear copies of specific documents for verification by the TSC.
Documents Required for Interviews
Shortlisted candidates for teacher recruitment interviews must bring several essential documents.
They need to present the originals and clear photocopies of their National Identification Card, TSC Certificate of Registration, and academic credentials, including degree or diploma certificates along with their official transcripts for each qualification listed in their application.
Additionally, candidates must show their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) and Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) certificates.
For those who have taken KCSE and KCPE multiple times, certificates from all attempts must be provided.
Candidates should also present all primary and secondary school leaving certificates and any relevant testimonials.
If the applicant has a disability, they should include documentation from the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD).
In cases where there are discrepancies in names across the documents, a sworn affidavit must be provided to clarify these differences.
If any academic certificate is missing, a certification letter from the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) is required.
The TSC has stressed that incomplete documents will not be accepted.
Verification of Academic and Professional Documents
The TSC will verify all academic and professional documents to ensure that only qualified individuals are recruited.
Provisional academic documents will not be accepted.
All applicants must bring the original and photocopies of all necessary supporting documents, including identification, academic records, school leaving certificates, and any other relevant documents.
Intern teachers have a simplified verification process and only need to present their national ID card.
Documentation for Successful Applicants
Successful candidates will need to submit additional paperwork to the Secretary of the Selection Panel during the recruitment process.
Required documents include: both sides of the national ID, two recent passport-sized color photos, KCPE and KCSE certificates, any A-Level qualifications, all academic qualifications (including diplomas or degrees) along with their transcripts, the TSC registration certificate, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) PIN, a copy of the bank card, a completed pay point form, the GP 69 Medical Examination Form, and a receipt confirming the submission of documents.
Final Submission to TSC Headquarters
The final paperwork from TSC County Directors will be submitted to the TSC headquarters and will include signed panel minutes, county merit lists of successful candidates (including those with disabilities), and employment letters along with the original KNEC documents for authenticity, as well as the GP 69 medical form.
It is crucial to ensure that all documents are certified, organized correctly, and spelled accurately to facilitate a smooth onboarding process.
According to a senior TSC official, having complete and orderly documents is essential for timely processing, allowing the TSC payroll to handle your documentation promptly.
There has been a tendency for candidates to forget documents, so it is important to carefully review the list and ensure that all required documents are brought to avoid disqualification in the future.
